Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

On November 1, 2018

Kate leased out a building = $4,500 a month

Received 7 months rental income = $31,500

Kate include on her 2018 tax return as a result of this transaction:

= Value of leasing out a building for a month * 2

= $4500 * 2

= $9,000

Therefore, the Kate include on her 2014 tax return as a result of this transaction = $ 9000
