Answer:

B: About 340 miles was the distance traveld by this tornado.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence that presents the singular verb "was" has the correct subject-verb agreement because the subject is singular: the distance traveled by this tornado. The normal order of this sentence is: The distance traveled by this tornado was about 340 miles . But an inversion ocurred, the verb was put before the subject.
