Hmm, I'm not so sure about that. Shouldn't we be considering the total number of lifts per day across all three cranes? That might affect the final answer.

I think the answer is D) 306 CY. The question gives us the maximum number of lifts per crane per day, the size of the concrete buckets, and the number of cranes. We can calculate the total volume of concrete that could be placed over a 5-day period using this information.

I agree, the answer is D) 306 CY. We just need to multiply the number of lifts per crane per day by the volume of concrete each crane can handle and then multiply by the number of cranes and days.
