    B) Jane recognizes a gain of $75,000.

    Explanation:

    § 351 allows individuals or businesses tax free transfers to controlled corporations. In other words, Jane can transfer assets to Green Corporation without recognizing any gain or loss.

    Since Jane received some money from this transaction (long term note for $75,000), that must be considered a gain since it is not included under § 351.
