    B. 28 inches

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this problem.

    a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse (diagonal)

    16^2 + b^2 = 32^2

    256 + b^2 = 1024

    Subtract 256 from each side

    256-256 + b^2 = 1024-256

    b^2 = 768

    Take the square root of each side

    sqrt (b^2) = sqrt (768)

    b = 27.7128129

    Rounding to the nearest inche

    b = 28 inches
