    The correct answer is option (d).

    Explanation:

    According to the scenario, computation of given data are as follow:-

    Faye had AGI of = $120,000

    Total medical expenses paid by Faye in 2017 = $22,350 ($5400 + $1800 + $12,600 + $2,550)

    Medical expenses deduction under the AGI in 2017 = 7.5% of AGI

    = $120,000 * 7.5 : 100

    = $9,000

    Faye has a medical expenses deduction = Total medical expense - 7.5% of AGI

    = $22,350 - $9,000

    = $13,350
