The height of a character in typography is usually measured in points, and the standard ratio is that 1 point is approximately 1/72 of an inch. Therefore, if the text for the book is 10 points, the approximate height of each character would be 10/72 of an inch, which is approximately 1/7 or 0.14 inches. This is closest to choice C, which is one-sixth of an inch.
