Answer:

A. $0

Explanation:

No money or amount is reported as a rental income from the Lake Tahoe home that current year. This is because the house is considered as primarily personal. He only rents it outside for two weeks in the summer. Most times when the house is not vacant, he is the one staying there. Properties that are primarily personal are not reported as rental income in scenario like this.
