A The elevation of a hiker, who is hiking down at Canyon floor changes at a rate of -20 feet per minute
Explanation: The rate of change is calculated by finding the difference in height divided by the difference in time. In this case, the height decreases by 80 feet in 4 minutes, resulting in a rate of change of -20 feet per minute. This indicates that the hiker is descending at a rate of 20 feet per minute.
