Bruno offers to fax Barbara "exactly" what the Perfume Hut's sales represent to the Delavigne Corporation. This is Bruno's way of expressing that the Perfume Hut is not a significant contributor to Delavigne's sales.
the Perfume Hut is not a significant contributor to Delavigne's sales: This is the correct choice. Bruno is sarcastic when he writes this. He is expressing that the Perfume Hut is not in fact an important contributor to Delavigne's sales.
