### Understanding Distance-Time Graphs for Car Trips

**Graph Overview:**
The graph represents the distance (in kilometers) from the origin versus time (in hours) for a car trip. The y-axis shows the distance, ranging from 0 to 150 km, and the x-axis shows time, ranging from 0 to 3.5 hours. The graph is a curve with varying slopes, demonstrating changes in velocity.

### Task:
Match each time interval with the correct statement and provide an explanation.

1. **[0, 0.5]**
   - **Statement:**
     - **Explain:**

2. **[0.5, 1.0]**
   - **Statement:**
     - **Explain:**

3. **[1.0, 1.5]**
   - **Statement:**
     - **Explain:**

4. **[1.5, 2.0]**
   - **Statement:**
     - **Explain:**

### Options:
- **A.** Velocity is decreasing.
- **B.** Velocity is increasing.
- **C.** Velocity is negative.
- **D.** The car is stopped.

**Instructions:**

For each time interval, analyze the graph to determine the car's behavior and match it with one of the options. Then, provide a single sentence explanation for your choice.
