A study of driving costs of 1992 model subcompact (four-cylinder) cars found that the average cost (car payments, gas, insurance, upkeep, and depreciation), measured in cents/mile, is approximated by the function where x denotes the number of miles (in thousands) the car is driven in a year. What happens to the average cost as the number of miles driven increases without bound?
A) It approaches 15.39 .
B) It approaches 2,290 .
C) It increases without bound.
D) It becomes infinitely small.
