c. 1040

Reason: Craig has rental/property income and investment (stock) income and wants to claim many deductions (likely itemized). The short forms (1040-EZ and 1040-A) are for much simpler situations and don’t allow reporting rental income or many itemized deductions; “1040-Plus” isn’t a real form. The regular Form 1040 is required.
