    The correct answer is c.

    Explanation:

    Amanda is eligible for tax deduction for medical expenses. But not for the full amount, because once your adjusted gross income is calculated, you can only deduct the amount that exceeds 10% of your adjusted gross income.

    Since Amanda's adjusted gross income (AGI) is $60,000, 10% of this amount is $6000 and her medical expenses were $6500, she will only be able to deduct $500.

    Have a nice day!
