    correct option is $16,000

    Explanation:

    given data

    basis = $30,000

    fair market value = $200,000

    liability = $16,000

    current E&P = $30,000

    to find out

    Puffin's E&P after taking into account the distribution

    solution

    we know that E and P will decrease by higher of the adjusted basis and fair market value of the distributed property

    so distribution loss is not taken into consideration to find out E and P

    and we have given current E & P of Puffin is = $30,000 that is reduce to

    reduce = basis - liability

    reduce = $30000 - $16000 = $14000

    so after distribution current E & P remaining will be $16000

    so correct option is $16,000
