D is corrent. Guaranteed payments are payments made to a partner for services or for the use of capital if the payments are determined without regard to the amount of partnership income. Guaranteed payments are deductible by a partnership in computing its ordinary income or loss from trade or business activities, and must be reported as self-employment income by the partner receiving payment. A payment that represents a 30% interest in partnership profits could not be classified as a guaranteed payment because the payment is conditioned on the partnership having profits.
