    D) Has no effect on total equity but decreases retained earnings.

    Explanation:

    Dividends refer to the distribution of profits to the common stock holders.

    This is basically an appropriation of profits.

    When dividends are declared, then the retained earnings are reduced and a liability is created.

    Announcing and declaring a dividend is a right to claim dividend by shareholders.

    Thus, it do not affect the equity at all, but a liability is created and the moment dividend is paid liability is settled.
