    B, $7,500

    Explanation:

    Deductible tax or tax deduction is the reduction or deduction that reduces an individuals tax liabilties by lowering his/her taxable income.

    Deductible tax from charity contributions is up to 50% of the contributed amount for income tax purposes.

    In the case of Terrence's contribution in the question, there is a clause that says to ignore income limitations.

    We therfore take 50% of $15,000 which gives us $7,500 as the amount that is deductible from the contribution.

    i. e; (50:100) * $15.000

    Cheers.
