D) 15"

1) Since a photograph has the shape of a rectangle whose width is 4 and h = 6

2) We can solve this by writing a proportion, and assuming they are proportional polygons


\begin{gathered} (4)/(6)=(10)/(x) \\ 4x\text{ =60} \\ x=15 \end{gathered}

3) Hence the height of the new enlarged photo will be 15 inches
