Based on the table, if a space shuttle can travel 440 billion kilometers in a few seconds only, then the statement "A and B are Astronomical bodies" are correct. Why? In space travel, light travels at the speed of 300,000 km per second. It is logical that for a space shuttle to be able to travel a billion kilometers in just a few seconds, it travels at the speed of light and therefore is traveling between two astronomical bodies.
