To address the first question regarding Kendra and Henry's trips:

Kendra drove 300 km in 2 hours, which gives her average speed:
\[ \text{Speed}_\text{Kendra} = \frac{300 \text{ km}}{2 \text{ hours}} = 150 \text{ km/h} \]

Henry drove 300 km in 3 hours, which gives his average speed:
\[ \text{Speed}_\text{Henry} = \frac{300 \text{ km}}{3 \text{ hours}} = 100 \text{ km/h} \]

Since Kendra and Henry did not have the same average speed (150 km/h for Kendra versus 100 km/h for Henry), none of the provided options would be true if we took "the same average speed" literally. However, looking at your question for implications and assuming you meant they would need to have the same speeds, the correct interpretation would be that Kendra traveled faster than Henry, making the true statement:

**D. Henry must have had lower velocity than Kendra.**

For the second question regarding Gregory's trip:

Gregory traveled to his grandmother's house 200 km away at an average speed of 100 km/h. The time it would take to reach her would be:
\[ \text{Time} = \frac{200 \text{ km}}{100 \text{ km/h}} = 2 \text{ hours} \]

This means we can infer:

D. Gregory must have completed the trip in 2 hours.

Regarding the remaining options:
- A (constant velocity) cannot be determined as there may have been changes in direction.
- B (constant speed) appears to be true if we assume he traveled straight at that speed without stopping.
- C (that he must have stopped) is not necessary; he could complete the trip without stops.

Thus, while option B could potentially be true, option D is the most unambiguously correct.
