    B) It would decrease

    Explanation:

    Suppose that Company XYZ assets before the sale of assets were $2,000,000 and is total debts were $1,500,000. The debt to asset ratio before the sale of assets were:

    Debt/Asset ratio=$1,500,000/$2,000,000=0.75

    Now the Company XYZ has decided to sell the the assets worth $1,000,000 to pay Debts so the assets now will become $1,000,0000 while the Debts now will become $500,000 and accordingly the debt to asset ratio will be calculated as follows:

    Debt/Asset ratio=$500,000/1,000,000=0.50

    So based on the above discussion, the answer shall be B) It would decrease
