Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The visuospatial sketchpad is responsible for visual and spatial information processing in working memory, which is necessary for determining whether the couch will fit in the dorm room. The other components of working memory (semantic buffer, phonological rehearsal loop, and executive control system) are not directly related to spatial analysis.
