Explanation:

The text states "It stands 1000 feet tall, making it the tallest structure in Paris." Wait, no, actually, the Eiffel Tower's actual height is about 1063 feet (including the antenna). But from the given passage, it says "It stands 1000 feet tall"? Wait, no, maybe the passage has a typo or maybe in the passage provided, it says "It stands 1000 feet tall"? Wait, looking at the options, option C is "just over 1000 feet tall" which matches the actual height (and maybe the passage's intended info, perhaps the passage's "1000 feet" is approximate, and the correct is just over). So based on the options and the actual knowledge (or the passage's context), the Eiffel Tower is just over 1000 feet tall.

Answer:

C. just over 1000 feet tall
