Solution

The correct option is A The average speed is 40 km/h throughout the motion
Since the speed-o-meter of the car reads exactly 40 km/h speed. This means that speed of the car remains constant always. Thus, average speed of the car from P to Q remains constant (i.e. 40 km/h) throughout the motion.
