Answer:
25 (ft/s)
Step-by-step explanation:
The "rate of change" is taken to mean the "rise" divided by the "run". Here, adjacent points differ in their y-value by 25 ft and their x-value by 1 second.
The rate of change is ...
rise/run = (25 ft)/(1 second) = 25 ft/second
Usually, we're just interested in the numerical value: 25.

<em>Additional comment</em>
The graph is mis-labeled. It is not showing "rate of ascent." It is showing height as a function of time. The "rate of ascent" is the <em>slope</em> of the line on the graph, not its <em>value</em>.
For this problem, all you need to do is find the three #'s that add up to 156.
So, lets look at the answers and add them up.
A. 50, 52, 54
50 + 52 + 54 = 156
B. 51,52,53
51 + 52 + 53 = 156
C. 49,50,51
49 + 50 + 51 = 150
D. 49,51,53
49 + 51 + 53 = 153
We get the answers (50,52,54) and (51,52,53)
Now, consecutive numbers are numbers that in order, like 1,2,3.
Therefore, the answer is (51,52,53)
