Final answer:

Usain Bolt is the runner among the given options known to cover 100 m much faster than in 11 seconds, with a world record time of 9.58 seconds. Other options like Michael Phelps and Serena Williams are associated with different sports and not that sprint time. The correct answer is option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The runner who can cover 100 m in 11 seconds is not among the given options because all of the named runners have recorded times faster than 11 seconds. Usain Bolt is known for setting the world record for the 100-meter dash in 2009 with a time of 9.58 seconds. His average running rate during this race was 10.4 m/s, which is equivalent to 23.4 mph. So, the most correct answer from the provided options would be Usain Bolt as the others are not known for running 100 m races or for running them at that speed.

Furthermore, Michael Phelps is a swimmer, not a sprinter, and Serena Williams is a professional tennis player, so their inclusion in the options might be to test your knowledge of athletes' disciplines. Carl Lewis, while a legendary sprinter, has retired and his records are not close to this time. Therefore, by process of elimination and based on historic achievements and records, Usain Bolt would be the most accurate answer.
