By applying the Pythagorean theorem, we have the following:
Distance = √[(11eb80b6_50bd_a116_8bbb_f171eb614551_TB8750_11)^2 + (11eb80b6_50bd_a117_8bbb_831d087d14d0_TB8750_11)^2]
Distance = √(121 + 121)
Distance = √242
Distance = 11eb80b6_50bd_c82a_8bbb_71ce71137962_TB8750_11
Therefore, the answer is (C) 11eb80b6_50bd_c82a_8bbb_71ce71137962_TB8750_11.
