Solution

The correct option is B Track

Compound nouns are a combination of two nouns in which the first noun is what kind of a person or object it is or what the purpose of the noun is whereas the second noun identifies the first noun.

When using nouns to be compounded with the word 'race', few words like 'car', ' track', 'driver' come to mind. From the given options, a race is always associated with a track and not with a path, road or passage to form 'race track' and so option d: track is the correct answer. Options A), B) and C) are all referring to the way taken in a race and there are no words such as 'race path', 'race road', or 'race passage' and therefore are all incorrect answers.
