    Answer: The options are given below:

    A. Single.

    B. Head of household.

    C. Surviving spouse.

    D. Married, filing separately

    The correct option is D.

    Explanation: Married filing separately refers to a tax status that is used by married couples who have chosen to record their incomes, exemptions, and deductions using separate tax returns.

    By filing separately, a couple can be kept in a lower tax bracket and, therefore, they are able to keep each individual's tax liability at bay.

    From scenario presented above, we can clearly see that Brandy and Ben only just split up, and are uncooperative of each other in respect to finalizing the divorce.

    Therefore, Ben has chosen the status of Married filing separately status.
