From the total amount received, $50,000 is put away in a trust for their child. This reduces the amount to be divided to $210,000 - $50,000 = $160,000. 
Marci will receive 1/4 of this amount, which is (1/4) x $160,000 = $40,000. 
Al will receive 3/4 of the amount, which is (3/4) x $160,000 = $120,000. 
Therefore, the answer is B.

Al Resse and Marci Rey Received a Total of $210,000
