Answer:

D. The daughter must recognize the income because she owned the stock when the dividend was declared and she received the $1,000. (or $2,000?)

Explanation:

The daughter possessed the bond when the dividends were declared and she also collected the $2,000 dividends. An investor must recognize revenue when the right to receive the dividend is established by the company, in other words, when the dividend was recorded.
