Answer:

D) $50,000

Explanation:

Tonya's adjusted gross income = salary + long term capital gains = $45,000 + $5,000 = $50,000

Non-business bad debt is unrelated to the person's business, and must be totally worthless in order to be deducted. In this case, Tonya deducted the non-business bad debt last year, so it doesn't affect this year's AGI.
