The correct answer is C. off hand

In this sentence, the speaker is asking for a moment to think because they cannot remember the answer immediately.

The phrase "off hand" means without preparation or without referring to any external source.

It fits perfectly in the context of the sentence, as it conveys the idea that the speaker cannot recall the answer from memory and needs some time to think.
