Let's say Sarah picked a total of x apples.
Sarah discarded 1/10 of x apples as defective, which leaves her with 9/10 of x apples.
Out of the remaining apples, 300 were made into cider, leaving 9/10 of x - 300 apples sold as fresh fruit.
Therefore, the fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit is (9/10x - 300) / x.
Simplifying this fraction, we get 9/10 - 300/x.
We can see that the answer depends on the value of x, which is not given in the information provided.
Therefore, the answer is C. not enough information.
