The statement is true is: A 16,000-BTU air conditioner meets the manufacturer recommendation.

Option A

BTUs=16,000/(20 feet×20 feet×8 foot)

BTUs=16,000/3200 feet

BTUs=5 BTUs

Option B

BTUs=14,000/(10 feet×20 feet×8 foot)

BTUs=14,000/1600 feet

BTUs=8.75 BTUs

Option C

BTUs=20,000/(20 feet×40 feet×8 foot)

BTUs=20,000/6400 feet

BTUs=3.125 BTUs

Option D

BTUs=12,000/(15 feet×10 feet×10 foot)

BTUs=12,000/1500 feet

BTUs=8 BTUs

Based on the calculation above only option A with 5 BTUs fall between 4 and 6 BTUs.

Therefore the statement is true is: Option A.
