To find the deer's speed, you can use the formula for speed:

\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}
\]

Given that the distance is 430 meters and the time is 19.2 seconds, you can calculate the speed as follows:

\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{430 \, \text{m}}{19.2 \, \text{s}} \approx 22.396 \, \text{m/s}
\]

Rounding to one decimal place, the speed of the deer is approximately 22.4 m/s.

The closest response to this calculation is:

**22.3 m/s** (22.3 meters per second)
