(B) Using the Napier's Analogy (Tangent Rule): $	an\left(\frac{A-B}{2}ight) = \frac{a-b}{a+b} \cot\left(\frac{C}{2}ight)$.Given $a=5, b=4$,we have $\frac{a-b}{a+b} = \frac{5-4}{5+4} = \frac{1}{9}$.From $\cos(A-B) = \frac{31}{32}$,we use the identity $	an^2\left(\frac{A-B}{2}ight) = \frac{1-\cos(A-B)}{1+\cos(A-B)} = \frac{1-\frac{31}{32}}{1+\frac{31}{32}} = \frac{\frac{1}{32}}{\frac{63}{32}} = \frac{1}{63}$.Thus,$	an\left(\frac{A-B}{2}ight) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{63}} = \frac{1}{3\sqrt{7}}$.Substituting into the tangent rule: $\frac{1}{3\sqrt{7}} = \frac{1}{9} \cot\left(\frac{C}{2}ight) \implies \cot\left(\frac{C}{2}ight) = \frac{9}{3\sqrt{7}} = \frac{3}{\sqrt{7}}$.Then $	an^2\left(\frac{C}{2}ight) = \frac{7}{9}$.Using $\cos C = \frac{1-	an^2(C/2)}{1+	an^2(C/2)} = \frac{1-7/9}{1+7/9} = \frac{2/9}{16/9} = \frac{1}{8}$.By the Law of Cosines: $c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab \cos C = 5^2 + 4^2 - 2(5)(4)(\frac{1}{8}) = 25 + 16 - 5 = 36$.Therefore,$c = 6$.
