    The correct option is B,$198,000

    Explanation:

    The balance in allowance for uncollectible accounts was standing at $18,000 and it was decided to write-off $16,000 off the this existing balance, which implies that the balance left in the allowance for uncollectible account to set off against accounts receivable is $2,000 ($18,000-$16,000).

    Invariably, the net realizable value of accounts receivable is $198,000 ($200,000 - $2,000).

    The correct option hence is B, $198,000
