Answer:

b. Liabilities assumed, at book value.

Step-by-step explanation:

International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and International Accounting Standards (IAS) require everything (Assets, Liabilities and Non-controlling interest) to be measured at the fair market value, the amount a third-party would pay on the open market, at the time of acquisition — the date that the acquirer took control of the target company.
