dc
○ splash and dash car wash supports local group

Explanation:

The article is about a youth group's car wash fundraiser to fund their trip to DC. We analyze each option:

• "Community Efforts Make DC Dreams Come True" is too vague, not focusing on the car wash or youth group's action.
• "Kids' Fierce Determination Wows at Splash and Dash" emphasizes determination rather than the fundraising/trip goal.
• "Youth Group's Successful Car Wash Funds Trip to DC" directly matches the subject (youth group's car wash) and the purpose (funding the DC trip), aligning with the article's content.
• "Splash and Dash Car Wash Supports Local Group" shifts focus to the car wash business, but the article is about the youth group's initiative.

Answer:

C. Youth Group's Successful Car Wash Funds Trip to DC
