First, we need to convert the dimensions from inches to feet.

Height = 24 inches ÷ 12 inches/foot = 2 feet

Width = 36 inches ÷ 12 inches/foot = 3 feet

Length = 36 inches ÷ 12 inches/foot = 3 feet

Now we can find the volume:

Volume = Height x Width x Length

Volume = 2 feet x 3 feet x 3 feet

Volume = 18 cubic feet

Therefore, the answer is C. 18 ft3.
