  <div class="h-25 d-inline-block" style="width: 120px; background-color: rgba(0,0,255,.1)">Height 25%</div>
  <div class="h-50 d-inline-block" style="width: 120px; background-color: rgba(0,0,255,.1)">Height 50%</div>
  <div class="h-75 d-inline-block" style="width: 120px; background-color: rgba(0,0,255,.1)">Height 75%</div>
  <div class="h-100 d-inline-block" style="width: 120px; background-color: rgba(0,0,255,.1)">Height 100%</div>
  <div class="h-auto d-inline-block" style="width: 120px; background-color: rgba(0,0,255,.1)">Height auto</div>
</div>

You can also use max-width: 100%; and max-height: 100%; utilities as needed.

PlaceholderMax-width 100%
html 
<img src="..." class="mw-100" alt="...">
Max-height 100%
html 
<div style="height: 100px; background-color: rgba(255,0,0,.1);">
  <div class="mh-100" style="width: 100px; height: 200px; background-color: rgba(0,0,255,.1);">Max-height 100%</div>
</div>

Relative to the viewport

You can also use utilities to set the width and height relative to the viewport.

<div class="min-vw-100">Min-width 100vw</div>
<div class="min-vh-100">Min-height 100vh</div>
<div class="vw-100">Width 100vw</div>
<div class="vh-100">Height 100vh</div>
