The answer is C. section 1202 treatment (qualified small business stock) is not available

Explanation:

An S corporation refers to a type of corporation that meets specific internal revenue code requirement.

S corporation is often more attractive to small-business owners than a standard (or C) corporation. That's because they have some appealing tax benefits and still provides business owners with the liability protection of a corporation.

Corporation taxes filed under S corporation may pass business income, losses, deductions, and credits to shareholders. S corporation shareholders must be individuals, specific trusts and estates, or certain tax-exempt organization.
