Final answer:

To find the height after 3 months, multiply the initial height by the growth rate and the time, then add the result to the initial height.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the height after 3 months, we need to calculate the growth over the given time period. The initial height is 41 inches and it grows at a rate of 2.7% per month. So, the growth after 3 months would be:

Growth = Initial Height * Growth Rate * Time = 41 * 0.027 * 3 = 3.501 inches

The new height after 3 months would be:

New Height = Initial Height + Growth = 41 + 3.501 = 44.501 inches,

which is approximately equal to 44.5 inches.

Therefore, the correct answer is not among the given options.
