    C) both Carly and Premier will recognize some gain.

    Explanation:

    Carly's gain = property's fair market value - stock basis = $250,000 - $200,000 = $50,000 gain

    Premier's gain = property's fair market value - stock basis = $750,000 - $600,000 = $150,000 gain

    In order for Premier not to recognize any gain on the distribution, it should have owned at least 80% of the corporation's stock in order to satisfy Section 332 exemption.
