D) 2.5 ft. wide x 2 ft. long x 4 ft. tal

As soon as I read the words "which set" in your question, I knew that
there's a list of choices on the sheet where you copied the question
from, but that you didn't copy the list along with the question.

All I can tell you is this:
Find a choice where, when you multiply all three dimensions together,
the product is 18 ft³ or less. That choice is a set of dimensions that
represents a refrigerator that will fit in Heather's kitchen.

(For all I know, there may be more than one suitable choice on the list that
you didn't include with the question, so you'd better check all of them.)
