Answer:

The correct option is (D)

Explanation:

Non-business obligations are treated as capital losses only in short-run. Subsequently, the $20,000 bad-debt can counterbalance the $18,000 of long term capital additions. Furthermore, the tax break was $20,000 in the last years, and so the amount she received on the debt is 12000$. Therefore, 12000$ is the income which is unexpectedly collected is the total income of marrying.
