Answer:

Correct option is (b)

Explanation:

Time available for work if Melanie chooses to travel by air = 7 hours

Income per hour = $40

Total income earned if chooses to travel by air = 40 × 7 = $280

Time available for work if Melanie chooses to drive = 4 hours

Total income earned if chooses to drive = 40 × 4 = $160

Price differential = 280 - 160 = $120

As a rational decision maker, Melanie will choose to fly over drive only if her price differential is below $120. She will choose to drive if price differential is above $120.
