the question does not present the options, but this does not interfere with the resolution

let

x-------> the length of the garden

y-------> the width of the garden

A-------> Area of the garden

we know that

A=x*y

A=120 ft²

for x=12 ft

120=12*y-----------------> y=10 ft

but

the length of the garden to be more than 12 feet
so
x > 12 fttherefore
y < 10 ftHence
the answer is
The width of the garden must be less than 10 ft (width < 10 ft)
