    The correct answer is A that is $120,000.

    Explanation:

    The value of one or single bathroom is computed as:

    Value of single bathroom = Category 2 cost - Category 1 cost

    = $185,000 - $170,000

    = $15,000

    The value of the subject property is computed as:

    Value of the subject property = Category 3 cost - Value of single bathroom

    = $135,000 - $15,000

    = $120,000
