If you have ever done any walking, you know that the diagonal distance is more than the length of either side and less than their sum. The only selection in that range is ...
C) 119 yards

_____
If you want to actually figure it out, you would use the Pythagorean theorem.
distance = √(100² + 65²) = √14225 ≈ 119.269 . . . . yards
