The answer is D. That will be used up or converted to cash within 12 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assets are what an entity owns and controls or Asset is a resource controlled by an entity as a result of past events and from which economic benefits are expected to flow to the entity.

Current assets are assets that are expected to provide economic benefits within a year(12months)
