Solution :

Cost of asset = $23,500

Salvage value = $2,300

Life of asset = 4 years

Depreciable cost = Cost of asset - Salvage value = $23,500 - $2,300 = $21,200

Depreciation expense for year 2 using straight line method = Depreciable cost / Life of asset = $21,200 / 4 = $5,300

Hence first option is correct.
