    The answer is: A) The cause for action occurred prior to the end of the fiscal year.

    Explanation:

    Warren Advertising should always accrue its losses or liabilities according to the following basic accounting principles:

    Accrual principle: Transactions must be recorded in the periods when they actually occur, not necessarily than in the periods when there are cash flows associated with them.

    Conservatism principle: Expenses and liabilities must be recorded as soon as possible, revenue and assets only when they occur.
