Answer 1

Right option is (a) Length, breadth, height

To explain I would say: The first dimension is length (L). Length is always the longest side of the box that has a flap. The second dimension is width (W). Width is the second longest side with a flap. The third dimension is height (H). Height is the only dimension without a flap.
