The correct answer is A. $\textbackslash$2$, as consumer surplus is calculated as the difference between the maximum price a consumer is willing to pay for a good and the actual price they pay, which is $\textbackslash$12 - \textbackslash$10 = \textbackslash$2$. 
A consumer is willing to pay $\textbackslash$12$ for a good, but is able to purchase it for $\textbackslash$10$. What is the consumer surplus in this scenario? 
a. $\textbackslash$2$ 
b. $\textbackslash$10$ 
c. $\textbackslash$12$ 
d. $\textbackslash$22$
