Answer: The correct option is

(E) 80,000.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that after adding 4,000 gallons of water to a large tank that was already filled to $\dfrac{3}{4}$ of its capacity, the tank was then at $\drac{4}{5}$ of its capacity.

We are to find the number of gallons of water that the tank hold when filled to capacity.

Let the tank can hold x gallons of water when filled to capacity.

Then, according to the given information, we have

$\dfrac{3}{4}x+4000=\dfrac{4}{5}x\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{4}{5}x-\dfrac{3}{4}x=4000\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{16-15}{20}x=4000\\\\\Rightarrow x=4000\times20\\\\\Rightarrow x=80000.$
