The correct answer is Option B. 6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we have to find the 20% of 5 and then add it to 5.

Given

Length of tree = 5 foot

Increase = 20%

So,

[tex]Increse\ in\ feet = 5 * \frac{20}{100}\\=5*0.20\\=1[/tex]

So the increase is 1 foot

[tex]Height\ of\ tree\ after\ one\ year = 5+1 = 6\ feet[/tex]

The correct answer is Option B. 6 feet
