Because the miles (m) is being multiplied by 0.03 and then being subtracted from 25, the correct answer is D.

You are multiplying each mile by the amount of gas it uses per mile, then subtracting it from the amount of gas the car started with.

D. For every mile the car is driven, the amount of fuel decreases by 0.03 gallons.
