Final Answer : C, Explanation :  At the market price of $8 per bushel, the profit-maximizing level of production is where marginal cost equals marginal revenue (price). Without the figure, we assume the farmer's optimal production level aligns with this principle. Total revenue is calculated as the price per unit ($8) multiplied by the quantity sold. The correct answer, therefore, depends on identifying the quantity that maximizes profit at this price, which isn't specified in the question. However, given the options and typical exam question structures, if C is the correct answer, it implies at the profit-maximizing level, the farmer sells 700 bushels ($5,600 / $8 per bushel = 700 bushels), assuming this aligns with the profit-maximizing quantity.
