The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

The GDP of an economy includes only the final goods and services produced in the economy in the given period of time.

In the given example, the day care shows the service provided by Jack and Jill.

The crayons and color books, milk, attendants are all intermediate goods and services.

So their values will not be included in the GDP.

The GDP will only include the value of daycare sold which is $100,000.
