A could be true too. Owners have more options.

I think option A might be misleading. Just because owners have longer distances doesn't necessarily mean they have more choices. I need to think this through more.

I feel like option B could be tricky. The travel times are similar in cities and suburbs, but I can't recall if that means slower speeds overall.

I think we practiced a similar question where we analyzed commuting times. It seems like renters have shorter distances, which might support option D, but I need to double-check the travel times.

I remember discussing how median distances can indicate commuting patterns, but I'm not sure if that directly supports any of these statements.
