    B. $2,600

    Explanation:

    The computation of the net rental income is shown below:

    = Monthly rental payments * total number of months in a year - (utilities + maintenance & repairs + insurance) * percentage - depreciation expense

    = $550 * 12 months - ($3,600 + $900 + $500) * 50% - $1,500

    = $6,600 - $2,500 - $1,500

    = $2,600

    Since only one apartment is on rent so we considered the expenses of the building at 50% not full value and the same is applied above
