    The correct answer is C

    Explanation:

    Alimony is the amount or an allowance or a legal obligation which is paid by the spouse to wife in order to support the financial support before or after the material divorce or separation.

    Under this situation, Laura (L) pays the alimony to Steve (S), which is agreed upon the decree of the divorce. But in order to save the money, they started to live together, so the alimony payment will not be included in his income as they started to live together and the payment will not be considered as the alimony.
