Answer:

C) For; they are available to all eligible taxpayers, not just those that itemize deductions

Explanation:

Any individual's adjusted gross income is equal to the individual's total gross income minus certain specific deductions, e.g. health savings account, contributions to retirement accounts, student loan interest, etc.

An individual's taxes are calculated using the adjusted gross income as basis, not simply the gross income.
