Answer:

B. 5 gallons per minute.

Explanation:

The tub is being filled when the volume is increasing. That is, at the point where the graph has a positive slope.

To find the rate at which the tub is being filled, pick two points from the part of the graph marked with red above.

They are: (4,20) and (0,0).

Next, find the rate of change.

[tex]\text{Rate of change=}\frac{20-0}{4-0}=\frac{20}{4}=5\text{ gallons per minute}[/tex]

The tub is being filled at a rate of 5 gallons per minute.
