D Correct answer
Explanation

The nearest star (Proxima Centauri) is about 4.24 light-years away, which is approximately 25 trillion miles. Traveling at 100 mph, it would take roughly 29 million years to cover that distance. This calculation illustrates the enormous scale of interstellar distances and why space travel requires speeds far beyond conventional vehicles.
