Answer:

C. $40 million

Explanation:

Deferred Tax only caters temporary differences and hence

Deferred tax liability  in the December 31, 2011, balance sheet is ($100M x 40%) = $40M.

There is no impact of non-tax-deductible expenses of $80 million relating to permanent differences on deferred tax liability account.
