B Correct answer
Explanation

The phrase 'go to any extent' is a common English idiom meaning to do everything possible or to go to any degree necessary to achieve something. 'Extent' here means degree or limit. 'Limit' suggests a boundary to stop at, which contradicts the meaning. 'Distance', 'boundary', and 'fence' refer to physical spaces, not degrees of effort.
