b. between $100 and $200

Explanation:

Producer surplus: The producer surplus is a difference between the willing price declared by the producers and the price the producers receives for supplying the goods and services.

In mathematically,

Producer surplus = Willing price - Receiving price

= $400 - $300

= $100
