    The answer is: A) $15

    Explanation:

    Consumer surplus is the difference between the maximum price a consumer is willing to pay for a product and the price of the product.

    Andrew was willing to pay up to $45 for the potato cannon and its price was only $30, so the consumer surplus is $15.
