In this case if x<100 George will be losing money. So he will only earn a profit when he sells more than 100 DVDs. Essentially (x-100) represents his break-even point.

Answer:

C)

That in order to make zero profit he must sell 100 DVDs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is one of the factors then it will meet the zero product property. Since x stands for the number of DVDS he sells then the profit must be 0 when this factor = 0. Therefore, (x - 100) means That in order to make zero profit he must sell 100 DVDs.
