Answer:

D- 18

Step-by-step explanation:

We simply need to divide the amount of wood she has by amount of wood that she needs for each statue.

She uses a 3 foot piece of wood and she needs 1/6 foot of wood for each statue.

Therefore, the number of statues she can make is:

$\frac{3}{\frac{1}{6} } = 3 * 6 = 18$

She can make 18 statues.
