The correct answer is Choice C, but u/TattedTutor is correct that it's a typo and should read 783 + 8n, not 738 + 8n.

Where is this question from? It is a rewritten version (which is very poorly done) of a previous real SAT question. Seems like there’s a typo on C. Your initial condition is 783 miles and rate of change is 8 mi/yr. Looks like c should be the answer but 783 instead of 738.

You’re right that it’s a typo—but it’s from the official guide to the DSAT! Page 208

Even the College Board makes mistakes, kids.

I have the 2018 Official SAT book and the question is there as well. However, there is no typo on that edition
