B) $550

Explanation:

the current income tax rate for incomes of a single person whose income is from 0 to 9,700 according to the IRS (Internal revenue system) is 10%

so it should pay:

taxable income x tax rate = income tax expense

5,500x 10% = 550 for income tax

It has obligation (liablity) for 550
