The correct answer is letter "A": relates cash, short-term investments, and net receivables to current liabilities.

Explanation:

The Quick Ratio measures a business's more liquid assets in relation to its short-term obligations. Also called the Acid-Test Ratio, it is calculated by adding the company's cash and equivalents with its short-term investments and its accounts receivables. That result is divided by the firm's current liabilities and the final figure will be the Quick Ratio.
