According to Ben, what happens? A) The light beam gradually pulls ahead of him and wins the race because it is going 1 of the speed of light faster than him.
B) The light beam instantly finishes the race, before Ben even has a chance to start.
C) The light beam moves out ahead of him at the full speed of light, winning the race easily.
