What is the maximum landing weight?

The maximum landing weight is the heaviest weight at touchdown that the airplane is allowed to have, a limit set to protect the landing gear, tires, and overall structure and to keep braking and handling within safe margins. It’s a published figure in the aircraft’s limits. For this aircraft, that limit is 15,000 pounds, so this is the correct choice. The other numbers are either lighter than the limit (permitted to land but not the maximum) or exceed the limit (not permitted).
