    Option (c) $200

    Explanation:

    Data provided in the question:

    Cost of the microwave = $200

    Cost of repairs in the kitchen = $2,000

    Now,

    The damage caused in the kitchen is due to the malfunctioning of the microwave.

    But the disclaimer on the microwave's label already mentioned that the manufacturer is not liable for consequential damages.

    here,

    The damage in the kitchen is consequential damage to microwaves.

    Hence,

    the manufacturer of the oven will only give $200

    Option (c) $200
