Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation

Let the length of the garden be x, then, the width = x - 7

perimeter of rectangle = 2(L + B) = 90 m 

= 2(x + x - 7) = 90

= 2x - 7 = 45 ( after dividing through by 2)

= 2x = 45 + 7 = 52

x = \(\frac{52}{2}\) = 26 m

Thus, the length of the rectangular garden = 26 m.
