B Correct answer
Explanation

Hippos are surprisingly fast on land and can outrun humans easily. Despite their bulky appearance, hippos can reach speeds of up to 30 km/h (19 mph) over short distances, while the average human running speed is about 24 km/h (15 mph). Hippos are considered one of Africa's most dangerous animals precisely because of their speed and aggression.
