The question asks to interpret which of the given options represents a solution containing 100g of sugar in 300g of water.

Identify the target composition.
The problem states the desired solution is "100g of sugar that is to be placed in 300g of Water." This means the ratio of sugar to water should be $100\text{g} : 300\text{g}$ .
Compare each option with the target composition.
- a) $80\text{g} : 300\text{g}$ - This option has $80\text{g}$ of sugar, which is less than the target $100\text{g}$ .
- b) $100\text{g} : 300\text{g}$ - This option has $100\text{g}$ of sugar, which exactly matches the target $100\text{g}$ .
- c) $108\text{g} : 300\text{g}$ - This option has $108\text{g}$ of sugar, which is more than the target $100\text{g}$ .
Select the option that matches the target.
Option b) is the only one that precisely matches the specified amount of sugar and water.

The correct option is b).
$\boxed{\text{b) } 100\text{g} : 300\text{g}}$
