    b. an increase of $ 200 which shall be subtracted from net income.

    Explanation:

    The difference between the opening and closing balances is an increase in the prepaid expense account.

    The prepaid expense is an asset account and an increase indicates that cash has been spent on acquiring the asset and thus it is considered as an application of cash and thus reduced from the net income.
