(d) The friend's policy will pay $50,000 and Joyce's policy will pay $20,000.

Explanation:

Since Joyce was the only person that was injured and her injuries cost $70,000, her friend's PAP will cover the damage as maximum as possible (that is the friend's PAP will cover as much as possible which is $50,000).

The excess ($20,000) will be covered by Joyce.

So option d. is correct $50,000 from the friend's policy and $20,000 from Joyce's policy.
