None of the multiple choices is correct. The correct answer should be: "Business profit will increase by $12,000 per year"

Explanation:

$12,000 per year is the rental rate.

If his Uncle Fred gives him the building, George will not pay the rental fee. Thus, the business profit will increase by $12,000 per year.

If we consider about the economic profit or implicit cost, it will not change.
