Answer:

7 octaves

Explanation:

Total number of keys in piano = 88 keys

Numbers of keys in each group called octave= 12 unique keys

We have to find the number of complete octaves on piano

Number of octaves consists of 12 keys=
(Total number of keys)/(12)

Number of octaves consists of 12 keys=
(88)/(12)

Number of octaves consists of 12 keys= 7 octaves

Hence, the correct answer is 7 octaves
