To find Lydia's writing rate in pages per minute, we need to divide the number of pages she wrote by the time it took her in minutes.

If Lydia wrote 4.5 pages in 1 hour, which is equivalent to 60 minutes, her writing rate is 4.5 pages / 60 minutes = 0.075 PPM.

Therefore, the correct answer is D. 0.075 PPM.
