D) $5,600

Explanation:

Since the client has a nonqualified annuity, his/her payments were done on an after tax basis. That means that only the earnings would be subject to taxation, his/her basis is equal to his $35,000 investment.

If the client withdraws $30,000, only $20,000 will be taxed ( = $55,000 - $35,000) at his/her tax rate = $20,000 x 28% = $5,600
