A.
10 feet

A. 10 feet

To find the actual width of the bedroom, we need to convert the width of the model from inches to feet using the scale of 1 inch = 3 feet.

30 inches * (1 foot / 12 inches) * 3 feet = 7.5 feet

Therefore, the actual width of the bedroom is 7.5 feet, which is closest to 10 feet.
