e) All temporary accounts are closed but permanent accounts are not closed.

Explanation:

At the time of the closing entries, the temporary accounts are closed instead of all other accounts. The temporary accounts include revenues account, expenses account, dividend paid account, ultimately income summary account

These accounts are closed so that the amount of these accounts should be carried forward to the next accounting period. The amount would always be zero, And in every accounting period, these accounts are closed.
