$(a)$ acceleration is in the direction of motion.

$(b)$ acceleration is against the direction of motion.

$(c)$ acceleration is uniform.

$(d)$ acceleration is non$-$uniform.

$(c)$ When a body is falling freely under the action of gravity, it has a uniform acceleration $g=9.8 m s ^{-2}$

$(d)$ When a car is passing through city limits on a highway, its acceleration $/$ retardation is non$-$uniform depending on the volume of traffic.
