So,

In this question, we are given to parameters.

1) Velocity (v) = 60 miles per hour

2) time (t) = 5 seconds.

Given that, the car can go from a stopped position to 60 miles per hour (v) in 5 (t) seconds.

In short, it is velocity/time

=> v/t

As we know that change in velocity over time (v/t) is called acceleration. Hence, the first option is correct.
