    The answer is: E) None of his salary can be excluded from gross income because Hank must reside overseas for the entire year

    Explanation:

    According to the IRS's Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (and Requirements) a US citizen can claim up to $105,900 (in 2019) of his gross income to be excluded from gross income in the US only if that person resided in the foreign country for at least 330 days in the last year.
