Correct option is (b)

Explanation:

Disabled access credit is granted by IRS to small business owners on expenses incurred by them in making their structure accessible for physically handicapped people. Cost incurred could be on constructing ramps for wheelchairs or providing hear aids to people with hearing impairment.

The maximum credit is $5,000 or 50% of cost not exceeding $10,250 ($250 initial cost cannot be claimed for exemption), whichever is less.
