    Option C is the correct answer.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Diameter, D = 42 feet

    Circumference = πD = π x 42 = 131.95 feet

    Number of rotations per minute = 3

    Total time = 5 minutes

    Total rotations = 5 x 3 = 15

    Distance traveled per rotation = 131.95 feet

    Distance traveled in 15 rotations = 15 x 131.95 = 1978 feet

    Option C is the correct answer.
