    Option A

    Elena need to ride around the loop four or more times

    Solution:

    Given that Elena plans to ride her bicycle 5 miles to a park and then ride several times around a loop in the park that is 3 miles long

    Then she will ride the same way home

    She wants to ride a total of at least 22 miles

    Given inequality is:

    3t + 10 > 22

    Where "t" is the number of times Elena rides around the loop

    Solve fot "t" in given inequality

    3t + 10 > 22

    Subtract 10 both sides

    3t + 10 - 10 > 22 - 10

    3t > 12

    Divide by 3 both sides

    t > 4

    The solution is all real numbers greater than or equal to 4

    Which means 4 or more times

    Therefore, Option A is correct.
