The car in the figure is moving to the left at 35 m/s. The car's horn continuously emits a `2.20 xx 10^2` Hz sound. The figure also shows the first two regions of compression of the emitted sound waves. The speed of sound is 343 m/s.

How far has the initial compression traveled when the second compression is emitted?

A

0.77 m

B

7.7 m

C

1.56 m

D

15.5 m
