    C. 409.98 ft³

    Explanation:

    The formula for the volume of a frustum is ...

    ... V = (h/3) (B₁ + √ (B₁B₂) + B₂)

    where B₁ and B₂ are the areas of the bases.

    Here, we have ...

    ... B₁ = (6 ft) (8 ft) = 48 ft²

    ... B₂ = (14 ft) (18 ft) = 252 ft²

    So the volume is ...

    ... V = (3 ft) / 3 * (48 ft² + √ (48·252) ft² + 252 ft²) ≈ 409.98 ft³
