    Minimum length of twine required by Paco to build a model ship = 3/8 yard

    = 0.375 yard.

    There are several options already given in the question. We have to check them before reaching a final conclusion.

    Option a = 3/10 yard

    = 0.3 yard

    So option is less than that reuired and hence cancelled.

    Option b = 1/4 yard

    = 0.25

    So this option is also less than the length required and hence cancelled.

    Option c = 3/5 yard

    = 0.60 yard.

    This option looks feasible, but the final option needs to be checked before getting to the conclusion.

    Option d = 1/8 yard

    = 0.125 yard

    Now we can finally conclude that among all the options given in the question, option "c" is the correct option.
