Answer:

B) $3,000

Explanation:

Since Laura acquired this property (stocks) by gift, her basis for loss will be $3,000 which is equal to the fair market value at the time she received the gift. If she had made a gain with this transaction, her basis for gain would have been the $4,000 of her father's basis.
