    d. is a potential liability that has arisen because of a past event or transaction.

    Explanation:

    A contingent liability refers to an obligation which arises owing to past events or transactions, whose happening is improbable i. e it may or may not arise in the near future.

    If the effect of such a liability can be reasonably estimated, then these should be provided for as a footnote in the financial statements.

    An example of a contingent liability would be a legal suit filed against the company, if lost would lead to an obligation for damages which the company may have to pay.
