The correct statement would be: c. None of Harry's distribution is taxable.
How to get the correct statement
Since the taxable amount isn't explicitly mentioned, and Harry has after-tax contributions, it's feasible that a portion or the entirety of his distribution may not be taxable.
The taxable portion typically depends on various factors such as the nature of the contributions, whether they were pre-tax or after-tax, the terms of the pension plan, and Harry's total contributions versus the distribution.
