{'time graph': [0, 1, 2, 2], 'uniform speed': [0, 0, 1, 5], 'distance': [0, 3, 3, 3], 'object': [1, 0, 11, 43]}

Option 1: The object is moving with uniform speed.

This option is not correct because the graph does not show a straight line, which indicates a constant speed. Instead, it shows a horizontal line, suggesting that the object is at rest.

Option 2: The object is at rest.

This option is correct. The graph indicates a horizontal line, which means that the object is not moving and is at rest. The distance traveled by the object does not change over time.

Option 3: The object is having non-linear motion.

This option is not correct because the graph shows a straight horizontal line, which represents linear motion. Non-linear motion would show a curved line on the graph.

Option 4: The object is moving with non-uniform speed.

This option is not correct because the graph does not show any change in distance over time. The object`s speed is zero, indicating that it is at rest, rather than moving with any kind of speed.

Therefore, the correct statement for the object in the given graph is that it is at rest.
