    C) personally have to contribute an additional $6,000

    Explanation:

    X's capital balance = $90,000.

    Y's capital balance = $60,000.

    Z's capital balance = $30,000.

    The partnership lost $120,000 which must be covered proportionally by the partners:

    X has to cover 35% of the losses = $60,000

    Y has to cover 35% of the losses = $40,000

    Z has to cover 30% of the losses = $36,000

    Since Z's capital balance is only $30,000, he owes the partnership $6,000 because his proportional losses were larger than his capital balance = $36,000 - $30,000 = $6,000
