To calculate the speed of the zebra in meters per second, you can use the formula for speed:
\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}
\]
In this case, the distance is 100 meters and the time is 5 seconds. Plugging in the values:
\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{100 \text{ meters}}{5 \text{ seconds}} = 20 \text{ meters per second}
\]
Thus, the speed of the zebra is **20 meters per second**.
The correct answer is **B. 20**.
\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}

In this case, the distance is 100 meters and the time is 5 seconds. Plugging in the values:
\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{100 \text{ meters}}{5 \text{ seconds}} = 20 \text{ meters per second}
\]
Thus, the speed of the zebra is **20 meters per second**.
The correct answer is **B. 20**.
