As Quentin wife is not then 10 year older then him and assume to be the sole benefiacry he should use the uniform table to calculate the required minimum distribution and the calculation is (20000+45000)/27.4= $2372 is the first required minimum distribution therfore the option 4 is also correct.

Therefore the option B is the correct answer.
