Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Under passive loss rules, disallowed losses are not lost forever. Instead, they are carried over indefinitely and can be deducted in future years when the taxpayer generates passive income or when the passive activity is fully disposed of. This means both conditions B and C are correct, making D the correct choice.
