A

B

18 \text{km/h}

Solution:

Concept:

Distance is found using the relation:

\text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time}

Explanation:

Given speed

= 18 \ \text{km/h}

and time

= 8 \ \text{h}

Substitute these values into the distance formula:

\text{Distance} = 18 \ \text{km/h} \times 8 \ \text{h}

The unit

\text{h}

cancels out, leaving the distance in km.

\text{Distance} = 18 \times 8 = 144 \ \text{km}

Answer:

The distance travelled is

144 \ \text{km}

Correct option: D.

144 \ \text{km}
