The distance traveled by an object divided by the time it takes to travel that distance is a)average velocity b)average speed c)average acceleration d)negative acceleration

The correct answer is average speed.

Since we are referring to distance expressed over time taken we are referring to average speed.

If it is displacement expressed over time taken, then we get the average velocity.

Also the velocity expressed over time will give us average acceleration.

Note that distance is a scalar quantity so it goes with another scalar quantity which is speed.

The displacement which is also a vector quantity will go with velocity which is also a vector quantity.
