    option (c) $3,150

    Explanation:

    Given:

    Interest on savings accounts = $2,000

    Interest on a State tax refund = $600

    Interest on City of Salem school bonds = $350

    Interest portion of proceeds of a 5% bank certificate of deposit purchased on July 1, 2016, and matured on June 30, 2017 = $250

    Dividends on USG common stock = $300

    Now,

    gross income from dividends and interest for 2017

    = $2,000 + $600 + $250 + $300

    = $3,150

    Hence,

    the correct answer is option (c) $3,150
