An equation is formed of two equal expressions. The correct option is A.

What is an equation?

An equation is formed when two equal expressions are equated together with the help of an equal sign '='.

The gas tank of each car has a volume of 16 gallons and the gas tank of each truck has a volume of 30 gallons. Therefore, the total gas needed for the fleet is,

16c + 30t

Also, it takes 2,000 gallons of gas to fill the empty gas tanks of the entire fleet. Therefore, the equation that shows the possible number of cars, c, and the number of trucks, t, in the fleet is,

16c + 30t =2000.

Hence, the correct option is A.
