D? Really? Incorporating actuarial assumptions for short-term benefits? That sounds like way more work than necessary. A is the way to go, no doubt.

Hmm, I was leaning towards B, but I guess discounting short-term benefits doesn't make sense since they're usually paid out soon anyway. A seems like the clear winner here.

I agree with Malinda. Short-term employee benefits are not provided in exchange for the service of the employee, so it's easier to measure the obligation.
