B. $500,000

Explanation:

In this question, we have to apply the GDP formula which is given below:

GDP = Cost of total produced cars - imports

where,

Cost of total produced cars would be

= Number of cars produced * price per car

= 30 cars * $20,000

= $600,000

And, the imports would be $100,000

So, the GDP would be

= $600,000 - $100,000

= $500,000
