Answer choice: [C]:
_________________________________________

V = d / t  = 1800 mi / 40 min = 180 mi / 40 min = 45 mi / min .

Which very well could be "Answer choice: [C]:  45 m/min" ; except, this answer choice may have been written incorrectly—and should read:
                                                 "45 m/min."
________________________________________________________

Now, notice that all the answer choices given are in "meters" per (unit time—seconds or mins.

So, we need to convert:

45 mi.  to "meters", or "m".
______________________________________
Note the following conversions:
_______________________________________
 1 mi. = 1750 yd
______________________________________
3 ft. = 1 yd.
____________________________________

1 m = 3.2 ft.
_____________________

So, 1 mi. = ? m ;
_____________________
 1 mi * ( 1760 yd/ mi) * (3 ft / 1 yd) * ( 1m / 3.2 ft) = _?_  m ?
_____________________________________________________
On the "left hand side" , the units of  "mi", "yd", and "ft" ; cancel to "1" ;
  ____________________________________________________
    and we are left with:
______________________________________
[(1760 * 3)]  /  [(3)*(3.2)]   m  = (5280 / 9.6) m  =  550 m .
______________________________________________
So, we have:  550 m / min ; which match NONE of the answer choices.

However, it is possible that choices A or B, which are given in "m/sec" (meters per second); are among the correct choices.
____________________________________________

So, we convert:   550 m / min to:   "m / sec " ;
______________________________________
( 550 m/ min)*(1 min/ 60 sec) =  (550/60) m/sec = (55/6) m/ sec
                                                                                    = 9 1/6 m / sec .
_____________________________________________________
                                                                 which is:  None of the above.
______________________________________________________
                     Unless the answer choices were written incorrectly.

NeX [460]

Answer: The correct answer is -

d) a dominant trait that depends on the presence of only one of many dominant alleles.

Glaucoma is an autosomal dominant trait, meaning that presence of single copy of the defective gene is enough to cause the disease.

It corresponds to a group of diseases, which cause damage in the optic nerve, leading to loss of vision and if not treated, it ultimately leads to blindness.

Thus, option D) is the right answer.
