Answer 1

B and C are the same, and none of the answers are correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Capital gain is the amount of money you earn after selling a property or investment. It's essentially (the price you sold it for) -- (the price you paid for it)

eg if you bought stock for $100 and sold it for $200, you'd have a capital gain of $100 (200-100)
