Diego is playing basketball. While running at 7 km/h toward Gino, he passes the ball to Gino horizontally. The ball travels at 20 km/h relative to Diego.

Because Diego is moving toward Gino in the same direction as the pass, the ball’s speed relative to the ground is the sum of their speeds: 7 km/h + 20 km/h = 27 km/h. Therefore, the correct choice is 27 km/h.
