Answer:

Segment: C shows that Lisa is returning closer to home.

Explanation:

Since after looking at the graph that shows her path she is walking we could see that in:

Segment A:

she is going far away from home as the distance from her home is increasing with the increasing time.

Segment B:

It represents that she is walking at a constant distance from the home.

Segment C:

it denotes that she is walking her way towards her home as with the increasing time the distance from home is decreasing.

Segment D:

It again represents that she is walking in the same direction and her distance with respect to her home does not changes with the increasing time.

Hence, the segment of the graph that shows Lisa returning closer to home is:

Segment C
