C Correct answer
Explanation

Human facial hair grows about 0.3-0.5 mm per day. Over a lifetime of ~70 years, this equals approximately 7.6-12.7 meters (25-42 feet). The average of 30 feet is a reasonable estimate assuming moderate growth rates and no trimming. This includes all cumulative growth, not hair length at any single time.
