To find the height of the son, we need to determine what "14 as tall" means in this context. The phrase suggests that the son is 1/4 the height of the father.
The father's height is 623 feet.
Let's calculate the height of the son:
\[
\text{Son's height} = \frac{623 \text{ feet}}{4} = 155.75 \text{ feet}
\]
None of the provided options match 155.75 feet, which indicates there might have been a misunderstanding of the phrase "14 as tall".
If, instead, it was meant to indicate the son's height as a fraction of his father's height where the son is 1/4 his father's height, then we already calculated that as 155.75 feet.
Since the options provided do not include this correct height, please double-check the phrase or the numbers provided in the problem statement to clarify the intent behind "14 as tall". Alternatively, it may need to be revised or corrected if possible.
