A Correct answer
Explanation

This is true and is a practical method people can use. The distance from the inside of the elbow (antecubital fossa) to the wrist is approximately equal to the length of the foot. This anthropometric relationship is consistent enough across adults to be useful for quick estimations when actual measuring tools aren't available.
