An Air Force C-141 Starlifter cargo plane left Sheppard Air Force Base in Wichita Falls, TX at a height of 3,958 above sea level. If the plane climbs at a rate of 391 feet per minute, which equation could be used to determine t, the time in minutes it will take the plane to reach its cruising elevation of 15,297 feet above sea level?

A. 15,297 = (3,958 + 391)t

B. 15,297 = 391 + 3,958t

C. 15,297 = 391(t + 3,958)

D. 15,297 = 3,958 + 391t
