    The correct answer is letter "D": The statement of stockholders' equity updates the balances of common stock and retained earnings for related transactions during the year.

    Explanation:

    Stockholders' equity is the equity held by the shareholders in a company. It is determined by subtracting the total liabilities from the total assets. The result can be seen on the Balance Sheet. Stockholders' equity comes from the capital that was originally invested in a business, and later new investments made plus the earnings that the company can retain.

    Retained Earnings continue to be the largest component of Stockholders' Equity for older firms and are adjusted along with the common stock balance in line with the relevant transactions made by the companies during the accounting period.
