Understand the definition of each term provided in the options to distinguish which one relates to the percentage of total market sales for a firm.
Consumer surplus refers to the difference between what consumers are willing to pay for a good and what they actually pay, so it does not measure a firm's sales share.
Producer surplus is the difference between the amount a producer receives from selling a good and the minimum amount they are willing to accept, which also does not represent a firm's market sales percentage.
Willingness to pay is the maximum amount a consumer is ready to pay for a good or service, unrelated to the firm's share of total market sales.
Market share is defined as the percentage of total market sales that a specific firm captures, making it the correct term for the problem's description.
