    c. Not accrued Disclosed.

    Explanation:

    The management has estimated the loss contingency of lawsuit as reasonably possible. The Contingent liability is reasonably possible then it will be disclosed in the Notes to Financial Statements and not accrued in Balance sheet. If the contingent liability is probable then the accrual needs to be made in the Balance Sheet.
