    The answer is D.

    Explanation:

    When a company is acquiring a company, it is buying all the assets and liabilities of the acquired company.

    The acquiring company will report the intangible asset (Goodwill). It is a purchased goodwill. Goodwill is the difference between purchase price and the net asset of the acquiring company.

    Acquiring company will no longer exist because the acquired is buying all of the acquiring company's share.

    All the assets and liabilities will be valued and reported at fair value to show the current market price.

    It is not necessary for acquiring company to revalue all its assets and liabilities.
