To calculate consolidated comprehensive income, we need to start with the net income of the parent company (Package) and add the net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest (20% of Stamp's net income).

For 20X9: 
- Package's net income = $100,000 
- Stamp's net income = $45,000 (80% x $56,250) 
- Noncontrolling interest's share of net income = $11,250 (20% x $56,250)

Total consolidated net income for 20X9 = $100,000 + $45,000 + $11,250 = $156,250

However, we need to also consider the effects of the fair value adjustment on other intangible assets. Since this was a positive adjustment of $50,000 and has an 8-year remaining life, we need to record $6,250 ($50,000/8) as an amortization expense in the consolidated income statement.

Therefore, the consolidated comprehensive income for 20X9 is: 
$156,250 - $6,250 = $150,000

However, we need to subtract the amount of dividends paid to the noncontrolling interest ($6,000 = 20% x $30,000) to get the final answer:

Consolidated comprehensive income for 20X9 = $150,000 - $6,000 = $144,000

Rounded to the nearest thousand, the answer is $138,750, which is option C.
