Answer:

B)60km[W]

Step-by-step explanation:

The boat travels 20km/h. So every hour the boat goes 20 miles. So if one hour equals 20km. Then 3 hours will be 3*20km which equals 60km. The boat is also going west. So you should consider putting that in your answer as well. So the answer would be B)60km[W].

Hope that helps!
