    D.$100,000.

    Explanation:

    Gross profit is the net of sale amount and cost associated with the sold item.

    Selling Price = $4,500,000

    Cost of Tranct of land = $3,600,000

    Gross Profit = $4,500,000 - $3,600,000

    Gross Profit = $900,000

    Gross profit percentage = $900,000 / $4,500,000 = 20%
