b. Trish's credit score is 525.

Reason: a 30% DTI is generally acceptable, and being a single mom cannot legally be the reason for denial. A $2,800 gross monthly income might limit how large a loan she can get but by itself isn’t a categorical disqualifier. A credit score of 525 is very low for most lenders and is the most likely factor that prevented approval.
