D Correct answer
Explanation

Return trip: distance = speed * time = 60 * 4 = 240 km. Going trip: time = distance / speed = 240 / 80 = 3 hours.

AI explanation

First, find the distance to the friend's home using the formula distance equals speed multiplied by time. The return trip distance is 60 kilometers per hour multiplied by 4 hours, giving 240 kilometers; since the going and return distances are the same, divide this by the going speed of 80 kilometers per hour. The calculation 240 divided by 80 gives a time of 3 hours.
