    C.

    35225\frac{352}{25}​ km/hr

    D.

    38425\frac{384}{25}​ km/hr

    Correct option is D

    Given:
    Distances = 7 km each, Speeds = 8 km/hr, 16 km/hr, 24 km/hr, 32 km/hr
    Formula Used: 

    Average speed = Total DistanceTotal Time\frac{Total \ Distance }{Total \ Time}   

    Solution:
    Average Speed=4×778+716+724+732=38425Average \ Speed = \frac{4 \times 7}{\frac{7}{8} + \frac{7}{16} + \frac{7}{24} + \frac{7}{32}} = \frac{384}{25}
