but they realized that it will not fit in the space available for it
but they realized that it would not fit in the space available for it
but the space available for it would not fit it, they realized
but they realized that did not fit in the space available for it
but they came to the realization that it would not fit in the space available for it
"Will not fit" doesn't work in this context, so eliminate Choice (1).
You're left with two verb options: the sofa "would not fit" or the sofa "did not fit." "Would not fit" sounds better in context, so eliminate Choice (4). Choice (3) is out because "would not fit it" is awkward. Eliminate Choice (5) because it's wordier and less direct than Choice (2).
Choice (2) remains.
The family purchased the sofa for their refurbished living room, but they realized that it would not fit in the space available for it and therefore decided to return it. Sure.
