    D. $3,500

    Explanation:

    we must focus on the result of the year and the dividends paid, since these decrease the Retained Earnings

    Cash flow has no impact and the insurance of stock is within the result of the year

    2019, income was 1200 less dividends allocated

    200

    Retained Earnings = 1000

    2020 result of 500 without dividend distribution

    Retained Earnings = 500

    2021 result of 2300 and distribution of dividends by 300

    Retained Earnings = 2000

    Total Retained Earnings = 3500
