    C. $250

    Explanation:

    The LIFO stands for Last in first out. It means the last units are first sold and the remaining units are later sold

    We know that

    Sales for the year = 135 units

    Closing inventory = 5 units

    The 135 units is sold from 85 units at $30 and 35 units at $40 and 15 units at $50

    So, for 5 units, the closing inventory would be

    = 5 units * $50

    = $250
