Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Starting elevation: 560 feet
Elevation change in each stage: 
134 feet (increase), 
11 feet (increase), 
300 feet (increase), 
-193 feet (decrease), 
-211 feet (decrease)

To find the final elevation, we need to add the elevation changes to the starting elevation:

560 + 134 + 11 + 300 - 193 - 211 = 600

Therefore, the race ends at an elevation of 601 feet. The answer is choice letter D.
