The correct equation is option B: V equals negative StartFraction d over 25 EndFraction plus 2.
This equation represents the amount of gasoline left in the tank (V) as a function of the number of miles driven (d). It states that for every 25 miles driven, one gallon of gasoline is used. The tank initially starts full, so the equation subtracts the amount of gasoline used (negative StartFraction d over 25 EndFraction) from the initial amount (2 gallons).
