D Correct answer
Explanation

Proxima Centauri, the nearest star to Earth, is about 4.24 light-years away (approximately 25 trillion miles). At 100 mph, this distance would take roughly 29 million years to cover. Option A (200 hours) would only cover 20,000 miles - not even leaving Earth's vicinity. Options B and C are orders of magnitude too small for interstellar distances.
