Detailed Solution & Explanation

The cat runs along all four walls, covering the perimeter of the room:
Perimeter=2×(8+6)=28 m\text{Perimeter} = 2 \times (8 + 6) = 28\text{ m}
Finally, the cat runs along the diagonal:
Diagonal=82+62=64+36=10 m\text{Diagonal} = \sqrt{8^2 + 6^2} = \sqrt{64 + 36} = 10\text{ m}
The total distance covered by the cat is:
Total Distance=28+10=38 m\text{Total Distance} = 28 + 10 = 38\text{ m}
Hence, **Option C** is the correct answer.
