    Gain will be $350000

    So option (d) will be correct option

    Explanation:

    We have given fair market value of the property = $500000

    Basis in the property = $150000

    Property is subjected to a liability of $200000

    We have to fond the gain

    Gain will be equal to

    Gain = market value of the property - basis in the property

    So gain = $500000-$150000 = $350000

    So option (D) will be correct option
