    D $2,000

    Explanation:

    Valueof Preffered stock = 1000 x 25 = $25,000

    Quartely dividend = 25000 x 8% x 3/12 = $500

    Dividend of four quarters = $500 x 4 = $2,000

    First three quarters has been missed so the preferred dividend of $2,000must be paid first from the declared dividend of 0.25 per share.

    So, the correct option is D $2,000.
