Final answer:

The car travels 160 meters in 8 seconds, which is not listed in the given options, therefore, there might be an error in the question or the options provided.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks us to find the distance a car travels in 8 seconds given the distance formula is 12s + s2 meters where s is the number of seconds. Substituting 8 for s, we calculate the distance as 12(8) + 82 which equals 96 + 64, and the total comes to 160 meters. This option is not listed, suggesting a possible error in the provided options or a misunderstanding of the question as stated.
