it's not 1,000 or 10,000, so it's probably 100.
one peson gave a formula of volume of container divided by volume of m&m * .68
volume of container is 7 * 7 * 6.5 = 318.5 cubic cm.
volume of m&m given as .636
formula becomes 318.5 / .636 * .68 = 340 roughly.
see this refernce:
https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1703595#:~:text=636%20cubic%20centimeters%20%2D%2D%20the%20volume%20of%20one%20M%26M.
anothr website showed width and the length of a standard sized m&m.
that s howed me the width is apprimately 2.5/4 cm and the diameter is approximately 5.4/4.
assuming i'm dealing with a rectangular shape, rather than the unique shape of an m&m, i determined the volume of the rectangular shape of the m&m would be approximately 2.5/4 * 5.4/4 * 5.4/4 = 1.1390625 cubic centimeters.
318.5 / 1.1390625 = approximately 280 m&m's.
the answer therefore appears to be less than 1000 and more than 100, so the lower limit is probably 100 since there don't appear to be another options.
if 300 was an option, i would have probably picked that.
here's the reference for the last calculations.

The volume of the jar is the product of its dimensions, so is
the actual volume of a single M&M candy to be about cubic milliliters
=> the volume is
divide the volume of the jar by the volume of a single M&M to get the number of the M&M`s in the jar
then » M&M in full jar
so, for the most reasonable LOWER LIMIT for the number of M&M`s in the jar the correct answer should be
