    • 1700 ft

    • 3000 ft

    • 1000 ft

    • 1300 ft

    A. 1700 ft
    Explanation
    The maximum height for an elevator is 1700 ft. This means that the elevator can travel up to a height of 1700 ft from its starting point. Elevators are designed to transport people or goods between different floors or levels in a building, and the maximum height limit is determined by factors such as the strength and stability of the elevator system, safety regulations, and the height of the building itself. In this case, out of the given options, 1700 ft is the highest value, indicating the maximum height that an elevator can reach.
