B is corrent. The requirement is to determine how taxes paid by an individual to a foreign country may be treated. Foreign income taxes paid by an individual may be deducted as an itemized deduction (not subject to the 2% floor), or may be subtracted as a credit against federal income taxes due. A is incorrect because foreign taxes can be deducted as an itemized deduction, but would not be subject to the 2% floor. C is incorrect because foreign taxes can be deducted as an itemized deduction. D is incorrect because foreign taxes can be deducted as an itemized deduction, but are not an adjustment to gross income in arriving at adjusted gross income.
