Explanation
Choice C is correct. If the butterfly traveled 2,100 miles in 120 days, then it traveled, on average, miles per day.
Choice A is incorrect. This is approximately the average amount of time, in days, it took the butterfly to fly one mile: days per mile. Choice B is incorrect and may result from an arithmetic error. Choice D is incorrect. This is the number of hours in a day rather than the number of miles flown per day.
