Question

Small objects, like atoms and electrons clearly manifest quantum behavior. And the de Broglie relation: ? = h/p, says that even large objects like us have a wavelength.
The value of h, Planck’s Constant, is 6.626 x 10-34 Joule-seconds and the momentum p of a human body could be, say, 1000 kg-meters/second. That would give us a wavelength of 10-37 meter. When a wave goes through an opening that is much bigger than its wavelength you will not see wave effects. With this in mind, what might be the reason that our bodies, which do have a wavelength, do not stretch out of shape and distort (like diffracted waves) when we go through a door?
this is as yet unknown
the Pauli Exclusion Principle
our wavelength is too small compared to a door for quantum effects and
wave behavior to be visible.
our wavelength is too large compared to a door for quantum effects and
wave behavior to be visible.

Explanation / Answer

USING WAVELENGTH=h/p the wavelength of a( human being+ door)Assuming he/she weighs 70 kg, and is being fired at 25 m/s, it's about 3.79 x 10-37 meters. so it is so smaall compared to a door for quantum effects and wave behavior to be visible.if we take size of door to be 5m.
