    "D"

    Explanation:

    Deductibles from AGI can also be referred to as expenses or cost in the course of preparing income statement. These are the expenses incurred in the course of business transaction that are qualified to be deducted from the gross income to arrive at the Adjusted Gross income. The $525 for tools and supplies qualifies for this purpose as it is is part of the cost for the business.

    Itemized deduction are the expenses that tax payers can claim from federal income tax in order to reduce their tax liability. These expenses are listed by the regulatory tax rules in order to control tax evasion acts. It covers the health insurance premium of $3,600 paid by Christine.
