d. Qualified opinion or adverse opinion.

Explanation:

A qualified opinion is used in an auditor's report that accompanies this entity audited financial statements. It is an auditor's opinion that suggests this entity has not capitalized a material amount of leases in the financial statements and there is a materiality of departure from the generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

The adverse opinion is when an entity needs to reiterate and complete another audit of its financial statements.
