Double means straight line method percentage multiplied by2 . Here10 years =10% *2=20%  

And here we will ignore the salvage value . So first year is100,000 *20% = $20,000 as expense .

And second year we will take the book value of the equipment which is80,000 (100,000 -20,000 ) *20% =  16,000 .

Answer C is the right option 

But we have to note that at the end of useful life the book value should be equal $15,000 as an ending balance of the asset . 

 According to double- declining balance method .
