The answer is D - a motorcycle with a constant velocity.

Velocity is much more stable in terms of speed and distance that can be associated with the dynamics of equilibrium (balance) compared to speed alone. It brings the constant relationship between the two elements.

Speed is only focused on time of travel and not with direction. While acceleration does not show equilibrium but only a change in speed.
