I don't know

Which line in the dialogue shows us that Susie is confident about her plans for the advertisement?

"I suppose it's feasible".

This is actually a line spoken by Bruno, not Susie. Bruno is saying that Susie's advertising idea is a realistic option.

"Considering the scope of the project..."

This choice does not express anything regarding Susie's confidence. This phrase refers to the wide latitude of the television advertisement.

"Sooner, rather than later, I hope."

This choice does not express anything regarding Susie's confidence. Susie is simply expressing her desire to see Bruno again.

"I've got everything under control."

This is the best choice here. To have "everything under control" is an expression meaning that one is "in charge of the situation" or that one is capable of dealing with the situation.
