Final answer:

Without knowing the required length for each piece of the cage, we cannot determine exactly how many pieces Sharon can cut from a 12-foot, 12-inch wide board for a chicken cage.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question you're asking involves a basic arithmetic problem related to measuring and cutting a board. To answer it, we need to know how long each piece for the chicken cage needs to be. As this information was not provided, we cannot give an exact number of pieces that Sharon can cut from her 12-foot, 12-inch wide board. Generally, to solve such a problem, one would divide the total length of the board by the length required for each piece of the cage. Since we lack the necessary length per piece, we are unable to select one of the options provided (a) 2 (b) 3 (c) 4 (d) 5 as the correct answer. This question appears to be missing crucial information needed for a precise calculation.
