    D. $222,000 in 2018.

    Explanation:

    One-eighth (3/24) of the payments on the two-year contracts were earned (1/8 * $144,000 = $18,000) and one-fourth (1/4 * $128,000 = $32,000) of the payments on the one-year contracts were earned in 2017 and is included in 2017 gross income. The balance of the payments of $222,000 ($272,000 - $18,000 - $32,000) must be included in 2018 gross income.
