Answer :
To solve this problem, we start by examining the options provided:
[tex]$$
\text{A. } \$36 \text{ Billion} \quad \text{B. } \$46.4 \text{ Billion} \quad \text{C. } \$98.2 \text{ Billion} \quad \text{D. } \$115 \text{ Billion}
$$[/tex]
The task is to determine which of these values represents the annual economic costs attributable to distracted driving.
After reviewing the relevant data and analyses, we find that the most accurate estimate is:
[tex]$$
\$36 \text{ Billion}
$$[/tex]
This is the cost associated each year and corresponds to option A.
Thus, the final answer is:
[tex]$$
\boxed{\$36 \text{ Billion}}
