Solution

The correct option is A 10 m
Energy of Bananas =980 cal=980×4.2 J
Energy required to climb =mgH
where, H= Height from the ground
g= Acceleration due to gravity
m= Mass of the person

Since, this energy is used up to lift him from the ground
mgh=980×4.2
42×9.8×H=980×4.2 (g=9.8m/s2)
H=10 m

So,the correct option will be (A).
