Solution

The correct option is B 300 units
Given,
Electric field vector, E=8^i+4^j+3^k

As , the plane surface is parallel to x-yplane, so the area vector A points along the positive direction of z-axis.
So, area vector, A=100^k

Electric flux through the surface,
ϕ=E.A

ϕ=(8^i+4^j+3^k).(100^k)

ϕ=300 units

Hence, option (b) is the correct answer.
