Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Schedule C is used for reporting income and expenses from a business you operated or a profession you practiced as a sole proprietor. In the case of a taxpayer materially participating in a real estate activity as a real estate professional, the activity is considered a business, and thus Schedule C is the appropriate form for reporting its income and expenses.
