A person drove their car, traveling on a highway for multiple hours. The graphs illustrate the motion of the car during its travels.

The first graph (top) shows the distance the car traveled in kilometers, per the time, and in hours. Once the car got off the highway, the person drove through several traffic lights. The graph (bottom) shows the car's velocity after they got off the highway.

Which statement describes the car's speed as it traveled on the highway?

• The car's speed remained constant.

• The car's speed was increasing at a constant rate.

• The car's speed was decreasing at a constant rate.

• The car's speed increased and then decreased at a constant rate.
