All the following statements concerning the ownership of real property as joint tenants with right of survivorship are correct EXCEPT:

B) If three sisters inherited property as joint tenants with right of survivorship, the entire value of the property will be in the estate of the first sister to die.

D seems right to me. If they both paid, only half should be in the estate.

D seems off to me; I thought if both brothers contributed equally, the whole value would be in the estate of the first to die, not just half.

I think I've seen a question like this before, and I recall that with joint tenants, the property usually passes outside of the estate, so B might be tricky.
