4

Explanation:

Look at the factors of 20.
They are 1,2,4,5,10 and 20.

Pick any two of these factors and determine if there is a third value from this list so that the product of the three factors is 20

There are 4 combinations that will work :
1xx1xx20
1xx2xx10
1xx4xx5
2xx2xx5

Hence, Chloe can build 4 different rectangular prisms with 20 unit cubes.
