    C. $40 million

    Explanation:

    Deferred Tax only caters temporary differences and hence

    Deferred tax liability in the December 31, 2011, balance sheet is ($100M x 40%) = $40M.

    There is no impact of non-tax-deductible expenses of $80 million relating to permanent differences on deferred tax liability account.
