Correct option: A
II, III and IV
Option A (II, III and IV) is correct. Statement II is incorrect because zero velocity doesn't necessitate zero acceleration (e.g., at the peak of a projectile's trajectory). Statement III is incorrect because a body with uniform speed can have non-uniform acceleration (e.g., uniform circular motion). Statement IV is incorrect because non-uniform velocity implies non-zero acceleration.
