Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Since Cooper's Earned Income Credit (EIC) of $3,094 is more than his total tax liability of $2,100, and he had no withholdings, he would receive the difference as a refund. Subtracting his tax liability from his EIC ($3,094 - $2,100) equals $994, which is the amount of his tax refund.
