Answer:

b. $700

Explanation:

Todd's capital gains = -$1,000 (bad debt) - $2,000 (gain on commodities held for 2 years) - $800 (loss on stock held for 2 years) - $4,500 (flood damage) + $5,000 (gain on stocks held for 13 months) = $700

Capital losses due to federally declared natural disasters can offset capital gains.
