The correct answer is:

B) 30 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The part of the graph where y increases represents the log boat traveling up the conveyor belt.

This starts at x=0 (0 seconds, when the ride begins) and ends at x=0.5 (0.5 minutes, or 30 seconds). This means it takes 30-0 = 30 seconds.
