This figure shows an airplane traveling east to west along Earth's equator at the same speed that Earth rotates from west to east. People on Earth would, of course, simply see the airplane fly westward at 1,670 km/hr. What is the significance of the difference in viewpoints between people on Earth and people on the Moon?

A) It shows that motion is relative not absolute. B) It shows that you can get a wrong answer if you don't view the situation from the correct perspective. C) It shows that the airplane is traveling in a direction opposite to Earth's rotation. D) It shows that airplanes can move quite fast if you view them from the right place.
