D Correct answer
Explanation

Distance = Speed * Time. Speed = 5 km/hr, Time = 10 min = 10/60 hr = 1/6 hr. Distance = 5 * (1/6) = 5/6 km = 0.833... km.

AI explanation

Using the basic formula distance equals speed multiplied by time, the distance is 5 km/hr multiplied by 10 minutes. Converting 10 minutes into hours gives 10/60 hours, so the distance equals 5 multiplied by 1/6, which is 5/6 km. This fraction converts to approximately 0.83 km, meaning she traveled 0.83 km.
