Answer: $900

Explanation:
- California’s penalty is the greater of (A) a flat dollar amount per adult ($730 for 2024) or (B) 2.5% of household income above the filing threshold.
- Filing threshold for a single filer (2024) = $13,850.
- 2.5% × ($50,000 − $13,850) = 2.5% × $36,150 = $903.75 → about $904.

Since $904 > $730, the penalty is about $904 (closest choice $900).
