I'm no expert and a student myself so don't take my answer automatically but I think it would be C up 22k. Account type in brackets so you can run the numbers yourself.

Dr Land (asset) 85k
Cr Cash (asset) 85k

Dr Cash (asset) 137k
Cr Gain on disposal (rev) 52k
Cr Land (asset) 85k

Dr loan (liability) 30k
Cr Cash (asset) 30k
