The answer is

$C$

The reason is

Our ant's relative velocity to the returning ant;'s is 4 ant's per second

The explanation:

-If our ant was not moving, then 2 ant-lengths per second would pass him, and 120 ants per minute would pass him.

-But our ant is moving from A to B at a velocity of 2 ant-lengths per second.

-Returning ants are moving from B to A at a velocity of 2 ant-lengths per second.

-Therefore, our ant is moving relative to the returning ants at 4 ant-lengths per second (2+2).

-60 seconds per minute * 4 ant-lengths per second = 240 ant-lengths per minute.
