    D) $8,000 inventory, $0 land

    Explanation:

    Tyson's basis in the distributed inventory and land will be $8,000 inventory, $0 land

    Because he initially first allocates his outside basis to the assets distributed which is in an amount that is equal to KT's basis which is ($20,000 cash and $8,000 land).

    Therefore this results in a required decrease of $0 due to the basis he reduces in the land by the required decrease, which thereby results in a basis of $0 to the land.
