B.Yes, Chad is likely to qualify, because his yearly income is below the median annual income of California.

A person qualifies for chapter 7 bankruptcy, if his income is below the median yearly income of his state.

Here, it is given that Chad lives in California and makes $59,500 a year and the median annual income is $61,021 in California.

We can see that Chad is earning less than the median income of his state, so he will qualify for chapter 7 bankruptcy.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
