Answer:

c. $2.500

Explanation:

The maximum capital loss deduction per year for a married person filing separately or a single filer is $1,500 per year (if filing jointly the maximum deduction is $3,000).

net capital loss/gain = -$25,000 + $7,000 + $2,000 + $5,000 + $4,000 + $3,000 = -$4,000

-$4,000 loss + $1,500 capital gains deduction = -$2,500 carryover loss
