C Correct answer
Explanation

The commonly stated limit is 7 folds for a standard sheet of paper. Each fold doubles thickness, so after 7 folds you have 128 layers, making further folds practically impossible due to exponential growth. While MythBusters achieved 11 folds with giant paper, for normal paper 7 is the accepted limit.
