C: $12000
Explanation:
The corporation purchase 3000 shares of E Co. while outstanding shares of the corporation was 10000 shares. The corporation did not adopt the fair value option hence dividend income will consider as income from investment for the corporation.

Hence, E Co. paid dividend of $40000 x 30% = $12000 Income from investment for the corporation.
