    b. No gain recognized and a basis in Azul stock of $400,000

    Explanation:

    Data provided in the question

    Transferred percentage = 100%

    The fair market value of the stock he received is $1,000,000

    And, the tax basis in the Rosa stock is $400,000

    So by considering the above information, the $0 gains is recognized and his basis should equal to the tax basis i. e in the rosa stock i. e $400,000

    Plus if the stock is sold for $1,000,000 than there would be a gain of $600,000 but in this case there is zero gain recognized

    Hence, the option b is correct
