Solution

The correct option is D Owner's equity
When the balance sheet is prepared for any company set up to earn profit, the owner's equity is mentioned because it is funded by the owner to start the business.
Similarly, a non-profit organisation is not there for any kind of business and thus it doesn't require funds and hence, owner's equity is not mentioned while preparing balance sheet.
