B Correct answer
Explanation

Net income = 0.8 * Gross income. Increase in gross = 25000 - 20000 = 5000. Increase in net = 0.8 * 5000 = 4000.

AI explanation

Calculate Karl's net income at both points using the given percentage. His initial net income is 80% of \$20,000, which is \$16,000, and his new net income is 80% of \$25,000, which is \$20,000. The difference between the two net incomes is $20,000 - $16,000, resulting in an increase of $4,000.
