    Option C is correct.

    $ 122,000

    Explanation:

    January sales : 97 % of sales of January are collected in Jan, Feb and March

    3 % of sales of January are written off in March. Therefore none of January month sales forms part of March month account receivable

    Account receivable of March = 15 % of February Sales + 40% of March month sales

    = 15 % ($ 200,000) + 40 % ($ 230,000)

    = $ 30,000 + $ 92,000

    = $ 122,000
