Answer:

A) between 7:40 and 7:45

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The maximum time taken by her to walk to school = 15 minutes,

Since, the school starts on 8:00 AM,

Also, 15 minutes before 8:00 AM = 7:45 AM,

Thus, the maximum time at which she has to leave home = 7: 45 AM,

Hence, the reasonable estimate of the time she should leave home to get to school by 8:00 is between 7:40 and 7:45.

OPTION A would be correct.
