A
the city of
B
driving from
C
the distance from
D
travelers going from
Correct Answer: C
Choice C is the best answer. The sentence compares "driving distance" (singular) to another distance. "The distance from" establishes the correct comparison.
Choice A is incorrect because it compares "distance" to a "city." Choice B is incorrect because it compares "distance" to an action ("driving"). Choice D is incorrect because it compares "distance" to "travelers."
