Haha, I'm just a humble taxpayer trying to make ends meet. The idea of earning over half a million dollars is about as realistic as me winning the lottery!

Wait, does this mean I have to be a millionaire to qualify for the lower capital gains rate? That's a bit steep, don't you think?

That's correct. If you earn over those amounts, you qualify for the lower capital gains rate.

Ah, so the maximum rate of tax on the adjusted net capital gain for individuals is 20% for those earning over $400,000 for singles and $450,000 for couples. Seems like Option D is the correct answer here.
