c. $12,000

Explanation:

In this question, we assume the Fred and Wilma divorced in year i. e before 2019. Since in the question, it is given that the Fred paid $6,000 Wilma and $6,000 directly to the Law school Wilma is attending i. e not related to the child

Both payments are related to Wilma so we consider these payments and reflects the received payment which equals to

= $6,000 + $6,000

= $12,000

All other information which is given is not relevant. Hence, ignored it
