Explanation:

Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the good.

Consumer surplus = willingness to pay – price of the good

A consumer would demand for a product as long as he can earn a positive consumer surplus

When price is 10, there is a consumer surplus for buyers A to H. buyer I, would earn a negative consumer surplus if he purchases the product. Thus, the quantity demand at that price would be 8

When price is $25, there is a consumer surplus for buyers A to C. From buyer D, buyers would have a negative consumer surplus so they would not purchase the product

the answer is a.
