This is tricky! I feel like I saw a question like this before, and it emphasized the importance of the ratio. I might go with option D, but I'm not confident.

I think I recall that current assets should ideally grow faster than liabilities, but I can't remember the exact ratios we discussed. Maybe option C?

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like the trend analysis we did showed that current assets usually outpace current liabilities. Could it be option A?

I remember we practiced a similar question where we had to compare growth rates of assets and liabilities. I think I might lean towards option B.
