Option A is correct one.

Wes has a loss of $25,000 suspended under the passive loss rules.

Explanation:

Wes has no passive income. The measure of inactive misfortunes restricted by in danger impediment rules (which would be $25,000) must be set-off just against the easy revenue. As Wes has not earned any easy revenue during the year, the whole measure of $25,000 (as restricted by in danger confinement rules) will get suspended under the latent misfortune rules. Before applying latent movement rules, it is important to apply in risk limitation rules.
