Which car traveled at the greatest average speed ? (image below)

I think it's car C can someone tell me if I'm accurate or not ?
Which car went the most distance in the shortest time? You would have to measure the slope to be accurate, but it's between A & C. My guess is C.
Car A
since the gradient of its line is the most steepest (i.e. most distance covered in less time)
Speed is the SLOPE of the line in a time/distance graph all lines are straight so the line with the steepest slope is the highest speed
@FaiqRaees That's correct, but C went twice as far in a little more time. He would would have to measure the slope correct?
yeah but they are asking greatest average speed. It sure has taken greater distance but also spent more time.
BUT The question is a little ambiguous - Not all the cars started moving at t=0 so if you take the average from t=0 the answer may be different
