the correct answer is C

The average distance from the Earth to the Sun is approximately 150 million kilometers. Proxima Centauri is the next closest star to Earth, and it is located approximately 40 trillion kilometers away.

It takes only a few minutes for light from the Sun to reach the Earth, but it takes a few years for light from Proxima Centauri to reach the Earth. Also, it would take thousands of years for the fastest rocket to travel from the Earth to Proxima Centauri. (study Island)
