C Correct answer
Explanation

Time = Distance / Speed. If speed is halved (100 to 50), the time taken for the same distance must double (since time is inversely proportional to speed).

AI explanation

Using the formula Time equals Distance divided by Speed, the original time taken is D/100 and the new time taken is D/50. Comparing the two, D/50 is exactly twice D/100. Therefore, the time taken to cover the same distance will double.
