C Correct answer
Explanation

Average speed = Total distance / Total time. Distance = 5 km. Time = 5 minutes = 5/60 hours = 1/12 hours. Speed = 5 / (1/12) = 60 km/hr.

AI explanation

First convert the time from minutes to hours, making it 5 mins divided by 60, which is 1/12 hr. Using the formula Speed equals Distance divided by Time, the speed is 5 km divided by 1/12 hr. This results in an average speed of 60 km/hr.
