A) The adjustment will be for the increase or decrease in accounts payable for the period and will adjust net income in the operating activities section.

Explanation:

In the case of the indirect method, the operating activities deal with transactions that impact net income working capital. It would subtract the rise in current assets and a reduction in current liabilities while adding the decline in current assets and an increase in current liabilities.  

Such adjustments would be made in working capital. In addition, the net income and the loss on sale are added to the depreciation expense.  

While computing the amount of  cash payments to suppliers, the adjustment related to the increase or decrease in account payable would be considered

its kinda hard to answer this when we dont have all the information that we need.
