Answer:

B.   Yes, this is direct variation. Time is the independent variable, and miles driven is the dependent variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a direct variation, when the independent variable increase the dependent variable also increases. In this case, the independent variable is the time (time is always independent) and the miles driven by Steve is the dependent variable. This means, the miles driven increase as time pass.
