    Answer: Long - term capital gain

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Serena is single, so based on the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997, she would pay no capital gains tax on the first $250,000 gain.

    Therefore, $300,000 - $250,000 = $50,000

    The remaining $50,000 gain is taxable because of her being single and it has been her principal residence for three years.
