C #16.4# feet

#1# meter is a little over #1# yard, so our first guess might be B, but that's a little too much.

Note that #1# yard is #3# feet, so #5# meters will be a little over #5*3 = 15# feet. So C looks more likely.

A closer approximation is given by #1# ft #= 30.48# cm.

So #5# meters converted to feet is

#(5*100)/30.48 ~~ 16.4#
