Answer:  C. 128 cu. ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the volume of a rectangular prism is given by :-

[tex]V=\text{Length*width*height}[/tex]

Given : The dimensions of the cord of wood is a bundle : 4 feet by 4 feet by 8 feet.

Then , the volume of a cord of wood  will be :-

[tex]\text{Volume}=4\times4\times8\\\\\Rightarrow\text{Volume}=128\text{ cubic feet}[/tex]

Hence, the volume of a cord of wood = 128 cu. ft.
