42. Correct answer is a:

Producer surplus is an area above supply curve and below equilibrium price. It is defined as a difference between what producers will like to sell at and the price that they actually sell at ( equilibrium price ).

Hence area c+d represents this.

43.Underproduction will have output Q1. Underproduction will be gap between Q3 and Q1 (Q3-Q1), hence welfare loss will be

b +d. Welfare loss represents benefits that are lost to society because of resource misallocation.

(This happen due to price ceiling kind of situation.)
