Answer:

correct option is D. $12,000

Explanation:

given data

invested = $10,000

distributed = $2,000

dividend = $160

capital gain = $400

solution

As when investor beginning trust shares is  $10,000 and 2,000 of distributions  

so that here all subject to tax in years tax return

and here reinvestment in to new trust shares that is increase basis from $10,000 to $12,000

so investor have capital gain when sell all the shares more than $12,000

so here they have capital loss if sale  less than $12,000

so correct option is D. $12,000
