    Option (C) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    Anna contributes = $50,000 of cash

    Parcel of land:

    Adjusted basis = $100,000

    Fair market value = $150,000

    The contributions are free from taxes and carryover basis is applicable; thus 100,000 basis in the land plus 50,000 cash basis.

    Therefore,

    Anna's tax basis for her partnership interest:

    = Adjusted basis + Cash contribution

    = $100,000 + $50,000

    = $150,000

    Hence, Anna has a $150,000 tax basis for her partnership interest.
