If the gymnast mass were doubled, her height (h) from the top of the board would be as follows,

Explanation:
- The Mass of an object or body does not affect the acceleration due to gravity in any kind of way.
- Light weight objects accelerate more slowly than the heavy objects because when the forces other than the gravity also plays a major role.
- Mass increases of a body when an object has higher velocity or the speed.
- The greater the force of gravity, it would give a direct impact on the object's acceleration; thus considering only a force, the heavier the object is, it would accelerate faster. But an acceleration depends upon the two factors which are force and mass.
- Newton's second law of motion states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon the two factors which are, the net force of an object and the mass of the object.
In ur explanation make sure to use the terms
5 seconds is a poor time to ask about, because the speed abruptly changes at exactly 5 seconds.
Up until that time, the speed has been 1 m/s. And then, at exactly 5 seconds, it becomes zero.

It's also a poor question because speed is calculated from the distance covered, but the graph shows displacement, not distance. You can't really tell the distance covered from a displacement graph.
For example, if an object happens to be moving in a circle around the place where it started, then the total distance covered keeps increasing, but its displacement is constant.
I think the answer is A because it’s a better explanation
