Answer 2

Option A is correct.

Explanation:

The correct answer is :

The distance covered by Claire prior to 10 a.m. was 120 miles more than the distance covered by Elena prior to 10 a.m. After leaving Elena's house, Claire was on the road two hours more than Elena.

As we can see that Claire's graph opens at zero but Elena's graph opens at 2 hours, this proves, Claire was 2 hours ahead of Elena.

And at zero, Claire is at 120 miles, while Elena is zero, so this means her distance covered was more than Elena.
