D: $259,000

Explanation:

The computation of the paying amount which borrower can pay for a property is shown below:

= Mortgage loan amount for borrow : loan-to-value ratio

= $220,000 : 85%

= $258,823.53

= $259,000 round off

We simply divide the mortgage loan by the loan to value ratio so that paying amount could arrive which borrower can pay for a property.
