Would accelerating count as deceleration?

Here's what I mean, after doing a test in Physics, I got this one question wrong that didn't feel like it was worded correctly;
"Which graphs show an object accelerating?"

Basically there were 5 choices. (They're all pictures of graphs)
Graph A - A decelerating graph
Graph B - A increase in position graph
Graph C - A decelerating graph
Graph D - A constant acceleration graph
Graph E - A constant velocity graph

It was a multiple choice question, one of the choices was "None of the graphs" Which me and a few of my friends chosen. But the actual answer was "Both graphs A and C"
Both of those graphs were decelerating; not accelerating. Would this count as a poorly worded question? Should I go talk to my teacher and see if I can get an extra mark for this?

Thanks!
