Plane sound waves of wavelength 0.12 m are incident on two narrow slits in a box nonreflecting walls, as shown. At a distance of 5.0 m from the center of the slits, a first-order maximum occurs at point P, which is 3.0 m from the central maximum. The distance between the slits is most nearly.
.

A

0.07 m

B

0.09 m

C

0.16 m

D

0.20 m
