Answer:

B. Diane will sell two pumpkins since the first pumpkin costs $4 and the second pumpkin costs $6.

The producer surplus for the first pumpkin is $8-$6=2

and the producer surplus for the second pumpkin is $8-$6=$2.

So a total of $6.

Producer surplus is the market price less the cost to the producer.
