The correct answer is: 0.3
When solute is present in trace quantities, the concentration is expressed in parts per millions $(\mathrm{ppm})$ or $\mu \mathrm{gmL}^{-1}$.
100 ml of solution $=3 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{Cu}^{2+}$ ions
$10^6 \mathrm{ml}$ of solution $=\frac{3 \times 10^{-4}}{100} \times 10^6=0.3 \mathrm{ppm}$
