The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

The circumference of the wheel, which is the distance it covers in one full revolution, is \(\pi \times d = \pi \times 0.56\text{ m} \approx 1.759\text{ m}\).
Over 20 revolutions, the wheel covers \(20 \times 1.759 \approx 35.19\) m, and since this happens in 20 seconds, the speed works out to \(35.19/20 \approx 1.7596\) m/s.
Converting to km/h by multiplying by 3.6 gives \(1.7596 \times 3.6 \approx 6.336\) km/h, matching option 2.
