How to adjust table to fit column size?

Question

In the following code, the table is scaled over the margin. I would like to adjust it and not resize the font of text inside table.

\newcommand{\CLASSINPUTbottomtextmargin}{25.4mm}
\newcommand{\CLASSINPUTtoptextmargin}{19.1mm}
\newcommand{\CLASSINPUToutersidemargin}{15.8mm}
\newcommand{\CLASSINPUTinnersidemargin}{17mm}
\setlength{\textfloatsep}{-5pt}
\documentclass[letterpaper,conference]{IEEEtran}


\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{array,multirow,makecell}
\usepackage{forest}
\usetikzlibrary{shadows}

\makeatletter
\newcolumntype{P}[1]{>{\centering\arraybackslash}p{#1}}

\setcellgapes{1pt}
\makegapedcells
\newenvironment{multicases}[1]
{\let\@ifnextchar\new@ifnextchar \left\lbrace\def\arraystretch{1.2}% \array{@{}l*{#1}{@{\quad}l}@{}}} {\endarray\right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace}

You can use tabularx.

\newcommand{\CLASSINPUTbottomtextmargin}{25.4mm}
\newcommand{\CLASSINPUTtoptextmargin}{19.1mm}
\newcommand{\CLASSINPUToutersidemargin}{15.8mm}
\newcommand{\CLASSINPUTinnersidemargin}{17mm}
\setlength{\textfloatsep}{-5pt}

You may also use tabular* or tabulary.

\newcommand{\CLASSINPUTbottomtextmargin}{25.4mm}
\newcommand{\CLASSINPUTtoptextmargin}{19.1mm}

\newcommand{\CLASSINPUTinnersidemargin}{17mm}
