Answer:

C) $9,000

Explanation:

I guess Edna is a professional rodeo cowgirl. Any surgery done to treat her injuries caused by an accident while competing should be deductible. In this case the $9,000 spent to restore her appearance. But other surgeries for non-related cosmetic purposes are not deductible, e.g. chin surgery.
