Answer:

The correct answer is: Liability.

Step-by-step explanation:

A liability is an obligation that arises during the course of business. It represents a third party's claim in the company's assets usually from lenders or other creditors. Liability can arise in many different ways. Liabilities can be borrowing or a promise to pay later or any other type of obligation because of past transactions.
