None, at that pace you'd be better off not moving at all.
Really it's 60 miles...20x3=60

Some would say none of the above.
I'd pick 'a' 'b' or 'e'. 20 mph X 3hrs = 60mph
You can go 60 miles in a straight line. Not more only less if you turn corners. Now you car will still travel 60 miles in an hour, but you can be 20 miles away "as the crow flies".
Are there ways to travel farther? Sure.
If you are on the North Pole you'd be spinning at Zero mph.
If you are on the equator your traveling at 1038mph before you even get in your car.

Neither, its 60 miles.
Lets say h= hour
Since 20/h
and you are going for 3h
x is the number of miles you went
20/1=x/3
x=60

Not enough information to answer the question. Are you always traveling in the same direction?
