    c. $1,900

    Explanation:

    As for the information provided, we have:

    Retained Earnings opening balance = $2,500

    Current year loss = $200

    Balance of retained earnings after this = $2,500 - $200 = $2,300

    Now, dividends are provided which shall be paid from retained earnings only.

    Cash dividends are the one paid in cash.

    Stock dividends are the ones which are paid by issue extra shares from retained earnings.

    Thus, both are deductible from retained earnings.

    Therefore, closing balance of retained earnings = $2,300 - $200 - $200 = $1,900.
