      None of them

    • D.

      Cm is different from mm

    Correct Answer
    C. None of them
    Explanation
    The correct answer is None of them because although D'Angelo's height is given in millimeters, which is a smaller unit of measurement than centimeters, it does not necessarily mean that he is taller than Kevan. The conversion between centimeters and millimeters is 1 cm = 10 mm, so D'Angelo's height of 1020 mm is equivalent to 102 cm, which is the same as Kevan's height. Therefore, they are both the same height and neither is taller than the other.
