Since Harry had 1 cup of water remaining for the 2-hour hike and the canteen leaked at the rate of 1 cup per hour, he actually drank 7 cups of water during the 6-mile hike, Since he drank 3 cups during the last mile, he drank 4 cups during the first 5 miles and thus he drank 4/5 cup of water per mile during the first 5 miles.

Total amount of water = 10 cups
Amount that leaked in 2 hours = no of hours * no of cup
= 2 * 1 = 2 cups
Amount drinkable = 10 - 2 = 8 cups.
Amount left after hike = 1 cup.
Thus Henry drank = 8 - 1 = 7 cups
He drank 3 cups during the last mile of the hike.
Therefore, Amount of water drank during the first 5 miles = 7 - 3 = 4 cups.
Amount of water per mile (for the first 5 miles)
$$=\frac{\ no\ of\ cups}{no.\ of\ miles}\ =\ \frac{4}{5}$$

Option A is correct.
