A Correct answer
Explanation

Let the incomes be 2x, 3x, and 5x for A, B, and C respectively. C's income exceeds A's by 120000, so 5x - 2x = 120000, giving 3x = 120000 and x = 40000. B's income = 3x = 3 × 40000 = 120000. Option A is correct. Option B (144000) would be 3.6x, C (180000) is 4.5x, and D (240000) equals C's income, not B's.
