    D. $2,300

    Explanation:

    Dollar variation = Futures contract on gold * (April High quote - April Low quote)

    Futures contract on gold 100

    April High quote $1,212

    April Low quote $1,189

    Hence:

    Dollar variation = 100 * ($1,212 - 1,189)

    =100*$23

    = $2,300

    Therefore the amount that the value on one contract vary over the month of April will be $2,300
