    Answer: Option C

    Explanation: Quick ratio is calculated by dividing those assets which can be readily converted into cash by the current liabilities of a company. Inventory is not a quick assets as it takes time to sale the inventory.

    Thus, when inventory will be purchased the numerator of he ratio will remain unchanged but due to credit purchase denominator will be increased leading to lower ratio.

    Hence the correct option is C.
