Answer:

Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the original length of each side in feet.

Length of each side of a square is decreased by 4 feet.

New length = (x-4) feet.

Perimeter of a square is

Perimeter=4(side)

Perimeter of new square is

Perimeter=4(x-4)

Perimeter=4x-16

It is given that the perimeter of the square is now 32 feet.

4x-16=32

4x=32+16

4x=48

Divide both sides by 4.

x=12

The original length of each side is 12 feet.

Therefore, the correct option is D.
