C. 3.5 inches
The formula for the area of a triangle is A = 1/2 * base * height.
Given that the base is 4 inches and the area is 7 square inches, we can plug these values into the formula to solve for the height:
7 = 1/2 * 4 * height
7 = 2 * height
3.5 = height
Therefore, the height of the sandwich is 3.5 inches.
