Option D is the correct option.

Explanation:

Window dressing is the type of process by which a firm provides the improvement in fundamental or long-run positions and also they develop their basic values. It does not use the assets of the firm to minimize the long-term debt. So, that's why It borrows the long-term debts through retire the short-term debt that maintain the present ratio of the firm.
