Answer A: The maximum annual contribution limit for 2019 is $7,000 if the age is 50 or older ( in case of traditional IRA). So, maximum contribution is $7000 in this case.
The maximum annual contribution limit for 2019 is $6,000 and if the age is 50 or older then $1000 can be added which makes a total of $7000 ( in case of Roth IRA if AGI is less than $1,93,000, the roth IRA contribution can be made). So, maximum contribution is $7000 in this case.
The combined annual contribution limit for Roth and traditional IRAs is $7,000 if the age is 50 or older in 2019.

Answer C:- If they contribute to the Roth IRA then they can't have a deduction on their 2019 tax return. (Explanation- Roth IRA contributions are't tax deductible)
