(C) Let the total distance of the journey be $3d$. Each part of the journey is $d$. Time taken for the first part $t_1 = \frac{d}{80}$. Time taken for the second part $t_2 = \frac{d}{60}$. Time taken for the third part $t_3 = \frac{d}{30}$. Total time $T = t_1 + t_2 + t_3 = d(\frac{1}{80} + \frac{1}{60} + \frac{1}{30})$. $T = d(\frac{3 + 4 + 8}{240}) = d(\frac{15}{240}) = \frac{d}{16}$. Average speed $= \frac{	ext{Total distance}}{	ext{Total time}} = \frac{3d}{d/16} = 3 	imes 16 = 48\, km/h$.
