I'm guessing d. but i'd like some sort of opinion on that

Length --> a
Width   --> (a - 15)
Height  --> (a + 15)

d.The length of the rectangular prism is 15 units less than the width.

Option D states that the length (a) is 15 less than (a - 15).

--> 15 less than (a - 15) = (a-15) -15 = a - 30.
My opinion is that D is not the correct option.
