A$1,050✓ Correct
B$2,100
C$3,150
D$4,200

Explanation

Taxes already paid for the full first half (Jan 1 - Jun 30 = $2,100 for 6 months). Seller owned through April 1 (3 months = $1,050). Buyer gets the property April 1 and seller has paid through June 30. Seller is owed a credit for the period the buyer occupies that the seller prepaid: April, May, June = 3 months × $350/month = $1,050 credit to buyer.
