Why did we use "is", it is plural "60 miles", so we should use "are".

Six is plural but sixty miles is a singular.

When a particular distance is specified, we take it as singular. For eg. Sixty miles, two kilometers.

"are" word is right for this sentence

But "are" is a word not in the sentence. So here D. No error is the answer.
