---------------
To find degs/hr, divide the change in degrees by the hours.
Note that this gives the average over the time span, and not for each hour.

Pay attention on how I edited your post to make sense.
. . . Then the rate of change was = = -3 degrees of Fahrenheit per hour,
which // (!) ATTENTION (!) // is not in your option list.
To get the answer, you should subtract the present value of the temperature from its future value and to divide
this difference by the duration of the time period.
