I can't see the graph image you mention. To pick the correct choice I need either the graph or two clear points on the trend line (time, gallons).

How you can get the answer:
1. Pick two points on the trend line: (t1, g1) and (t2, g2).
2. Compute the filling rate (slope) m = (g2 − g1) / (t2 − t1).
3. Find the intercept b from g = m t + b using one point: b = g1 − m t1.
4. Solve for t when g = 450: t = (450 − b) / m.

If you post the graph or two points from it I will compute the time and choose the correct option for you.
