Option B is correct.

Explanation:

An iceberg is a floating piece of ice that broke off from a glacier and floats freely on the open sea.

Above the surface, the size can go between 1 to 75 meters tall, and they weight about 100.000 - 200.000 metric tons.

The tallest iceberg that we have a record of, was 168 meters tall, and it was located in the North Atlantic.
