Why This Is the Correct Answer
Compute perimeter, subtract the gate opening, and add the extra fence allowance.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong

790 lf is below the supported result for temporary fencing; it likely omits part of the approved scope, cap, credit, or holdback.
Option B: 810 lf
810 lf is below the supported result for temporary fencing; it likely omits part of the approved scope, cap, credit, or holdback.
Option D: 836 lf
836 lf is above the supported result for temporary fencing; it likely adds scope or money the rule does not allow.
