C. $14,000

Explanation:

Donated securities are initially recorded at the fair value on the date the gift is received. The securities will be reported at their market value at the end of the year i. e. the balance sheet date. Fair value at the year end will thus be the sum of the fair value of the two donations at the end of the year i. e $10,000 + $4,000 = $14,000.
