The formerly 300ft fence would be 3000 inches. Since a foot is now 12 inches, the fence would be 3000/12 = 250ft.
The other way to calculate it is to take 300*10/12 (length*(old foot)/(new foot)).
Answer is A.

Solution
As the length of the foot increases from past to present, the original length should be less at present, compared to the past length of 300
Only one option is less than 300
Hence, the correct answer is option A.
Answer: A
