RATIONALE: Statement b. is correct. Activities A, B, and C are all significant participation activities. A significant participation activity is one in which the individual's participation exceeds 100 hours during the year. However, the material participation standard is not met because total participation in significant participation activities (120 + 150 + 140) does not exceed 500 hours.
