- Monica harvested 1500 coconuts, which are worth 1500/3 = 500 fish (according to the exchange rate she values).
- Monica caught 600 fish.
- Monica gave Rachel 100 fish, leaving her with 500+100 = 600 fish.
- Monica set aside 200 fish for next year's harvest.
- Monica's total income in terms of fish would be 600 (fish caught) + 200 (fish set aside) = 800 fish.
Therefore, the correct answer is B, as Monica's income in terms of fish is 800.
