Answer:

Option A is the correct answer

Explanation:

Let i represent positive X axis ( east).

A truck moves 60 kilometers east from point A to point  B

       Displacement = 60 i km

       Distance = 60 km

At point B, it turns back west and stops 15 kilometers away from point  A

       Displacement = -45 i km

       Distance = 45 km    

Total

       Displacement =60 i - 45 i = 15 i km Towards east

       Distance = 60+ 45 = 105 km    

Option A is the correct answer
