Answer

Option C is the correct answer

Explanation

Brian's and Geoff's cars started the same distance from the sensor.

From the given data we get,

time 1s 3s 5s 8s

Brian 34 38 42 48

Kelsey 27 31 35 41

Geoff 27 33 39 48

From the above table we can conclude that Brian's and Geoff's cars started the same distance from the sensor.

So the answer is option C
