    The correct option is B

    Explanation:

    The gross income of Bernie would be

    Individuals include only 85% of the social security benefits in their gross income

    So,

    = $10,000 * 85%

    = $8,500

    Gross Income = Pension Payment + Social Security payment

    = $250,000 + $8,500

    = $258,500

    Therefore, the amount of $258,500 would be the gross income of Bernie.
