B
00
A
15
с
A. 17
B. 60
C. 17
D. 289

Using Pythagorean Theorem
[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto H^2=P^2+B^2[/tex]
[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto H^2=8^2+15^2[/tex]
[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto H^2=64+225[/tex]
[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto H^2=289[/tex]
[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto H=\sqrt{289}[/tex]
[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto H=17[/tex]
