Answer

$Therefore, Marsha and Clay type at the same rate, so none of the given options is correct.$

Steps

Step 1 ： $Words per minute = \frac{Total words}{Total minutes}$

Step 2 ： $Words per minute = \frac{90}{5}$

Step 3 ： $Words per minute = 18$

Step 4 ：So, Marsha types at a rate of 18 words per minute.

Step 5 ：Now, let's find Clay's typing rate using the points (3,54).

Step 6 ： $Words per minute = \frac{54}{3}$

Step 7 ： $Words per minute = 18$

Step 8 ：So, Clay also types at a rate of 18 words per minute.

Step 9 ： $Therefore, Marsha and Clay type at the same rate, so none of the given options is correct.$
