Correct answer: D
Explanation
D is correct because many early hypersonic missiles are designed to travel at speeds around 5 times the speed of sound. A is incorrect because this value is not standard for US Navy launched hypersonic missiles. B is incorrect because this specific multiple is not generally cited as the standard measure. C is incorrect because while some missiles reach Mach 10, 5 times is a commonly referenced benchmark in general questions.
