[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the possible dimensions of the refrigerator, we need to factor the given trinomial, y^3 + y^2 - 56y.

First, we can factor out a common factor of y:
y(y^2 + y - 56)

Next, we need to factor the quadratic expression inside the parentheses:
y(y + 8)(y - 7)

So the possible dimensions of the refrigerator are y, y + 8, and y - 7.

Therefore, the correct answer is A. y, y + 8, and y - 7.
