To find the volume of the gravity bin, we need to find the product of its length, width, and depth. From the illustration, we can see that the length is 8 ft, the width is 5 ft, and the depth is 7.5 ft.

Therefore, the volume of the gravity bin is: 
8 ft x 5 ft x 7.5 ft = 300 cubic ft

However, we need to remember that the bin is only filled to the 63% mark, as indicated by the label. So, we need to multiply the volume by 0.63 to find the actual amount of product in the bin:

300 cubic ft x 0.63 = 189 cubic ft

Rounding this to the nearest whole number, we get 188 ft³, which matches with answer choice C.
