Correct answer: A
Answer: Is
Explanation: Subject-verb agreement with measurements — when a quantity expresses a single distance or measurement, it is treated as a singular noun phrase and takes a singular verb.
Correct example: 550 kilometers is a huge distance to travel within a day.
Why other choices are wrong: 'Are' treats the phrase as plural; 'Were' is plural past tense; 'None of these' is incorrect because a correct verb ('is') is available.
