    The correct statement or the option is D

    Explanation:

    The Corporation which follows a C corporation calendar year, owns the stock in Blue Corporation. And the Blue pays the dividend of $40,000 to Red but Red take a deduction $20,000 of the dividend received.

    So, Red's dividend received deduction is % of the dividend received:

    = $20,000 / $40,000

    = 50%

    The 50% dividends received deduction applies when the ownership is less than 20%. Therefore, Red posses less than 20% of Blue Corporation.
