D) $0

Explanation:

Family loan of $100,000 or less, the amount of the imputed interest income is the lesser of the computed imputed interest

$75,000 *.05 = $3,750

or make use of Trey's net investment income of $940, However, since the net investment income $940 is less than $1,000, the imputed interest may be ignored; so, Chana will not include any amount as interest income as a result of this transaction.
