B Correct answer
Explanation

Mutual funds maintain minimal liabilities - primarily payables for ongoing expenses like management fees, accrued expenses, or short-term payables. Long-term loans are rare as funds operate on investor capital. This conservative liability structure ensures funds remain liquid and can meet redemption obligations without borrowing.
