The graph has numbers from 0 to 20 in increments of 4 on the x-axis and from 0 to 5,000 in increments of 500 on the y-axis. A straight line starts from (0, 0) and passes through (4, 1,000), (8, 2,000), (12, 3,000), (16, 4,000), and (20, 5,000).

The correct interpretation of the point (8, 2,000) on the graph is:
B. It means that Mr. Reynolds walks 2,000 feet in 8 minutes.
This is derived from the x-coordinate (8 minutes) and the corresponding y-coordinate (2,000 feet). The point indicates that after 8 minutes of walking, Mr. Reynolds has covered a distance of 2,000 feet.
