B Correct answer
Explanation

NASA historically set 6 feet as the maximum height limit for astronauts due to spacecraft design constraints (especially for Soyuz and earlier capsules). Taller astronauts had difficulty fitting and moving safely. At 5'9", 6'1", and 6'2", individuals would exceed or be right at this limit, making 6' the only viable maximum among the options.
