B Correct answer
Explanation

The common answer is 7 folds for a typical sheet of paper, which is correct for standard paper sizes. However, with sufficiently long and thin paper, the record is 13 folds (set by Britney Gallivan in 2002). The limitation exists because each fold doubles thickness, making further folds physically impossible with normal paper.
