B. 3.5 inches

The formula for the area of a triangle is (1/2)base x height. Since the base is 4 inches and the area is 7 square inches, we can set up the equation as: (1/2)(4)(h) = 7.

From this, we can solve for the height:
2h = 7
h = 7/2
h = 3.5

Therefore, the height of the sandwich is 3.5 inches.
