The answer is: A) expenses understated and therefore net income overstated

Explanation:

Supplies are an essential part of the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS), so if they weren't adjusted at the end of the year, the COGS will be lower than they should be.

If COGS are artificially low, then the gross income (and net income) will be artificially high.
