○ 25.1 km
○ 18.0km
○ 22.0 km
○ 24.9

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the graph (assuming similar scale to Mauna Kea)

The graph for Mauna Kea shows height from base (0 km) to peak (around 10 km? Wait, no, the question is about Rheasilvia's central peak. Wait, maybe there's a mislabel, but the answer choices are around 25, 18, 22, 24.9. Wait, maybe the graph's y - axis for Rheasilvia is different? Wait, no, perhaps the original problem (maybe a typo, but assuming the graph's scale: if we consider that maybe the Mauna Kea graph is a reference, but the question is about Rheasilvia. Wait, maybe the height from base (0) to peak: looking at the answer choices, 24.9 is close to 25, but let's check. Wait, maybe the graph's y - axis for Rheasilvia: if we assume that the peak is around 25 km? Wait, no, the Mauna Kea graph has y - axis up to 11 km. Wait, maybe there's a mistake, but among the options, 24.9 is the closest to 25, and maybe the correct answer is 24.9 (or 25.1? Wait, no, 24.9 is an option. Wait, maybe the graph for Rheasilvia's central peak: from base (0) to peak, the height is around 24.9 km (rounded or as per data).

Step2: Evaluate the options

The options are 25.1 km, 18.0 km, 22.0 km, 24.9 km. If we consider the typical height of Rheasilvia's central peak (from base to peak) is about 24.9 km (or rounded to 25, but 24.9 is an option). So the most probable answer is 24.9.

Answer:

24.9 (the option with 24.9, assuming the full option is 24.9 km)
