I think option D is correct. It will result in an increase in cost of sales and a decrease in gross profit.

Hmm, let's see. If the closing inventory figure decreases, that means the cost of goods sold will increase, right? So, I think the answer is D. Hey, maybe I should keep an inventory of my socks to avoid this problem!
