A
Correct answer
Explanation
Terrestrial snails are among the slowest-moving land animals, traveling at only about 0.03 miles per hour. While sloths are famously slow (moving about 0.003 miles per hour in trees), on the ground they're actually faster than snails. Turtles can move faster than both when motivated, and rabbits are much faster.
