    Option B is the most appropriate,$80

    Explanation:

    Contribution implies the portion of sales price which contributes towards recovering the fixed costs and by extension to net income after fixed cost has been deducted.

    The contribution per unit can be computed by deducting variable cost per unit from selling price per unit:

    Selling price $100

    variable cost ($20)

    Contribution $80

    Option A is strictly the selling price, hence it is wrong

    Options C& D are out of context as they cannot be related to the scenario
