The graph, which is a linear function and passes the origin, shows Charlie's speed while he is competing in a bike race, the x-axis representing Time and the y-axis representing Speed. Which situation corresponds to the graph?
Choices:
A:Charlie starts off by increasing his pace gradually and then stops as he trips over a stick,but then recovers and is able to increase his speed steadily until the end of the race
B:Charlie starts off at a constant speed and then increases his speed at a steady rate
C:Charlie hits his maximum speed about halfway through the race
D:Charlie increases his speed at a constant rate throughout
Please directly answer the question and provide the correct option letter, e.g., A, B, C, D.
