What this question is testing

Objective: Measurement Conversion

Prompt focus: How many inches are in 4 feet, 5 inches?

Why the correct answer works

53 inches

4 x 12 = 48; 48 + 5 = 53 inches.

Why the tempting wrong answer fails

The tempting wrong answer usually loses because it skips the key condition, priority, or evidence in the prompt.

Plain-language takeaway

Each foot has 12 inches. 4 ft = 48 in. Add 5 in for total of 53 inches.

Simple analogy
