During an experiment, a signal from a spaceship reached the ground station in five minutes. What was the distance of the spaceship from the ground station? The signal travels at the speed of light, that is, $3 \times 10^{8} \, m \, s^{-1}$.

  • A
    $19 \times 10^{10} \, m$
  • B
    $29 \times 10^{10} \, m$
  • C
    $39 \times 10^{10} \, m$
  • D
    $9 \times 10^{10} \, m$
