it will be D 38 since you add 4 feet to each side then find the perimeter

Answer: Option 'C' is correct.

Explanation:

Length of garden = 5 feet

Width of garden = 6 feet

Width of walkway = 2 feet

So, Length of surrounding of walkway = 5 + 2 =7 feet

Width of surrounding of walkway = 6 + 2 = 8 feet

Perimeter of surrounding of walkway =
2(l+b)=2(7+8)=15* 2=30\ feet

Hence, Option 'C' is correct.
