    If this a question from a test, answer it first and then we will help you.

    Hint: Is this a residential garage or a commercial garage? Residential most often will not be 3 phase.
    Hint: One of the answers given is incorrect.

    One other point, in order to plan the service for this garage you must know whether the garage is attached, stand-alone or a remotes structure.

    What is the calculated load for the garage - Voltage planning is just one part of the overall plan

    Homework has a purpose... when it do it YOURSELF you actually learn something.
