A particle starts moving rectilinearly at time $t = 0$ such that its velocity $'v'$ changes with time $'t'$ according to the equation $v = t^2 - t$ where $t$ is in seconds and $v$ is in $m/s.$ The time interval for which the particle retards is

  • A

    $t < 1/2$

  • B

    $1/2 < t < 1$

  • C

    $t > 1$

  • D

    $t < 1/2$ and $t > 1$
