Answer:

Option C, there would be a surplus, which would go to the trustee, is the right answer.

Explanation:

The property sold at a price = $160800

The fees and court cost = $1600

First deed amount = $156500

Second deed amount = $2000

Total costing = 1600 + 156500 + 2000 = $160100

Since the selling amount is greater than the cost amount. Thus, there will be surplus to the trustee. So, Option c is correct.
