Answer 2

The distance between the windows is not given. I have searched for this question in other sources and came up with 6.5 ft.

6.5 ft = 78 inches

The width of the bookshelf  = 77 inches

Hence the book shelf with fit between the windows and still there will be 78-77  = 1 inch of space remaining

Hence the right option is option C
