It's letter C. When ever you read "breaks down" always think decomposition. When you read that compound get together to form "a single" compound, think synthesis.
If the cyclist rode at an average speed of 10mph for 15 miles...
we can solve by dividing the distance by the speed to get time using the equation...
Δspeed = Δdistance / Δtime
Δtime = Δdistance / Δspeed
Δtime = 15 miles / 10 mph = 1.5 hours
It has to do with the releasing of ethylene, which speeds up the ripening process
