Solution

The correct option is C 50 m
The path of the stepped leader from cloud to ground can be very jagged and indirect. The stepped leader only senses charges within about 50 m of the leader tip. As a result, the stepped leader surges ahead in 50 m segments. Each surge of the leader produces a small flash of light
