Explanation:

"The apple of my eye" is an English idiom that refers to something or someone that one loves, cherishes, or values very much. In the context, Mitchell spent a lot of time and money building the car and hopes it wins the race, so he means he likes the car a great deal. The other options are literal misinterpretations of the idiom.

Answer:

B. he likes the car a lot.
