To find Tyson's take-home pay, we must follow a series of steps where we account for all deductions from his annual salary.

1. Identify Tyson's Annual Salary:
[tex]\[ \text{Annual Salary} = \$42,500 \][/tex]

2. Identify and Sum All Deductions:
- Federal Income Tax: \$8,500
- FICA: \$3,251
- Disability Insurance: \$2,125
- Life Insurance: \$100

Adding these deductions together:
[tex]\[ \text{Total Deductions} = \[tex]$8500 + \$[/tex]3251 + \[tex]$2125 + \$[/tex]100 = \$13,976
\][/tex]

3. Subtract Total Deductions from Annual Salary:
[tex]\[ \text{Take-home Pay} = \text{Annual Salary} - \text{Total Deductions} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Take-home Pay} = \[tex]$42,500 - \$[/tex]13,976 = \$28,524
\][/tex]

Thus, Tyson's take-home pay is:
[tex]\[ \boxed{\$28,524} \][/tex]

So, the correct option is:
B. \$28,524
