The correct answer is E

Explanation:

Assets is the one, which is any kind of resourced owned by the business and could be used in future for the benefit of the business. So, in this case, the balance sheet, states that the estimated total assets are more than the total equity and the liabilities, which represent that the company or the business is in good state that the liabilities of the company are paid off and the equity is also balanced, the company is still in good situations as have the total assets.
