To find out the time taken, we need to use the formula:

v = u + at

where
v = 60 mph (final velocity)
u = 0 mph (initial velocity)
a = 10 mph/s (acceleration)
t = ?

Rearranging the formula, we get:

t = (v - u) / a

Plugging in the values, we get:

t = (60 - 0) / 10 = 6 seconds

Therefore, the answer is B) 6 seconds.
