Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The correct income splitting arrangement between Michelle and Stephanie is in the ratio of 3:2, since Michelle receives $210,000 and Stephanie receives $140,000 out of a total of $350,000. This can also be represented as fractions 3/5 and 2/5, or simplified ratio 6:4 (which is equivalent to 3:2). The option 2:1 does not accurately reflect the given income split.
