    D) Property's fair value at the date of the investment.

    Explanation:

    When new business is formed from closing the old one, all assets are recorded at fair value.

    Thus, all the assets other than cash shall be recorded at their respective fair values in the new business which is a partnership, as the cost or historical value will not display their proportional contributions properly.

    Therefore, correct statement is

    D) Property's fair value at the date of the investment.
