B.

Step-by-step explanation:

It doesn't make sense for either x or y to be negative because we are talking about x representing the number of acres and y representing another number of acres and that they should add up to no more than 400.

So I'm not going to look at A or C.

B looks good 250+150=400

D almost looks good 1+400=401; the problem with this answer is that is more than 400
