Why the answer is C, and why the others tempt you.
Zakat is only obligatory on a Muslim who possesses wealth equal to or above the nisab (minimum threshold) for a complete lunar year (hawl). A poor Muslim whose wealth falls below the nisab is not required to pay Zakat; in fact, such a person may be eligible to receive Zakat. Options A, B, and D all describe scenarios where Zakat would be obligatory.
