SUMMARY
The discussion centers on identifying Gaussian surfaces that yield an electric flux of +q/εo. User "curious314" correctly deduces that option b is the appropriate choice, while options c and d are invalid due to charge cancellation and the presence of only negative charge, respectively. The consensus confirms that understanding the relationship between enclosed charge and electric flux is crucial for solving such problems.
