Answer:

The true statement is:

b) Marshall will pay a 10% early distribution penalty on any portion of the funds that are subject to tax.

Explanation:

Early withdrawal from the IRA funds is not allowed.  When it is allowed because of the economic loss Marshall suffered due to a qualified disaster, the 401(k) will be allowed a hardship withdrawal, which is a taxable event.   He will also incur a mandatory withholding tax on the withdrawn amount that may be up to 20%, depending on his adjusted gross income for the year.  Assuming that Marshall is under 55 years, he would incur 10% penalty.
