Explanation:

In typical volcanic ash cloud height scenarios (e.g., from major eruptions like Eyjafjallajökull), the ash cloud often reaches around 14 miles (or ~22 kilometers) into the atmosphere, which is within the stratosphere. 50 miles is too high (beyond typical atmospheric layers for ash), 1 mile and 5 miles are too low for significant volcanic ash cloud heights.

Answer:

B. 14 miles (assuming the options are labeled as A. 50 miles, B. 14 miles, C. 1 mile, D. 5 miles)
