Detailed Solution

Concept: Then, we'll see that adding up both values will give us the tree's height. First, we'll try to illustrate what the question is trying to say. To do this, we'll construct a simple, rudimentary graphic.
The individual is described as being 1 m tall and as being beneath a tree that extends 7 m above their head. Let's attempt to illustrate this
The person is 1 meters tall, while the tree above him is 7 meters tall, as can be seen.
It goes without saying that the tree and the person will both be standing only on the ground. As a result, if we carefully measure the height of the tree, the total would equal the sum of the height of the tree directly above the person and that person's/her own height.
As a result, the tree's height will be determined by: person's height plus the height of the tree over them
So, the height of the tree = 7 m + 1 m = 8 m.
Hence, the correct option is (4) .
