I’m confused between B and C. I know B talks about obligations, but C mentions decreases in economic benefits, which is tricky.

I remember discussing liabilities in class, so I think I have a good handle on this concept. I'll use the process of elimination to narrow down the options.

Option B is the clear winner here. It's the only one that actually mentions the key characteristics of a liability - a present obligation and an outflow of resources.

I'm not sure, I think it might be A) A resource controlled by the entity as a result of past events and from which future economic benefits are expected to flow to the entity. It sounds like it could also be a liability.
