Answer:

  B. In 3 seconds, the space station travels 15 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-axis is labeled "Time (seconds)", so an x-coordinate of 3 will correspond to a time of 3 seconds.

At that x-coordinate, the graph has a y-value of 15 (miles). This tells you ...

  In 3 seconds, the space station travels 15 miles

_____

Additional comment

The graph is not a graph of speed, as the title suggests. Rather, it is a graph of position versus time. The slope of the graph is speed.
