    It is the square root of 155^2-124^2 according to Pythagorean's theorem, which is equal to 97, so it is B.

    For this problem, we use the Pythagorean theorem which is a relationship for the side length of a right triangle. It is expressed as:

    c² = a² + b²

    where c is the hypotenuse of the triangle.

    155² = 124² + b²

    b² = 155² - 124²

    b = 93 cm

    Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
