The first choice (10 m/s) best represents the speed of a fast runner.

Usain Bolt's world record in the 100 Meters is 9.58 seconds.
That's 10.44 meters per second ... about 23.4 miles per hour.

The other choices are out in Lala Land:

-- 10 miles per second . . . . . 3,600 miles per hour

-- 10 centimeters per hour . . . . . 0.000062 mile per hour
(more like MY running speed, but not like a fast runner)

-- 10 kilometers per second . . . . .  22,369 miles per hour
