    D : add the company's net income for March to the company's retained earnings as of March 1.

    Explanation:

    After preparing the income statement, the next step is to add the net income at the beginning retained earnings balance to find out the ending retained earnings balance.

    The ending balance of retained earning = Beginning balance of retained earnings + net income - dividend paid

    Thus, all other options are incorrect except option D
