Solution

The correct option is B retained earnings
A company generally does not distribute all its earnings among the shareholders as dividends. A portion of the net earnings may be retained in the business for use in the future. This is known as retained earnings. It is a source of internal financing or self-financing or ‘ploughing-back of profits’.
