C) outflow of $100,000

Explanation:

Given the following information about Silver Trading Corp.;

net income = $200,000

purchased land = $150,000

sale of long term investments = $50,000

depreciation = $10,000

To determine Silver's net cash flows from investing activities for the year

The only elements of investing activities in the information given are an outflow of $150,000 for the purchase of land and an inflow of $50,000 from the sale of long term investments.

Therefore, net cash flows from investing activities for the year

= - $150,000 + $50,000

= - $100,000

A net outflow of $100,000.
