Christie sued her former employer for a back injury she suffered on the job in $2024.$ As a result of the injury, she was partially disabled. In $2025,$ she received $$240,000$ for her

loss of future income, $$160,000$ in punitive damages because of the employer's flagrant disregard for the employee's safety, and $$15,000$ for medical expenses. The medical

expenses were deducted on her $2024$ return, reducing her taxable income by $$12,000.$ Christie's $2025$ gross income from the above is:

a$.$ $$255,000.$

b$.$ $$415,000.$

C$.$ $$412,000.$

d$.$ $$172,000.$
