    c. immediately after the property, plant, and equipment.

    Explanation:

    We must remember than the assets must be listed in a decreasing order of liquidity that is, the closer the asset is to be converted to cash, the higher is on the list

    so we ussually got:

    current assets

    cash

    account receivable (cash we have to collect)

    inventory (we need to sale and collect to make it cash)

    non-current assets

    PPE (is not easy to sale a 10 floor building or an iron-cast furnance)

    Intangible assets

    How can we sale our goodwill? The only way to do so is by selling the business entirely.

    How can we sale a patent? we need to findsomeone willing to purchased, agree to a price and collected

    As notice intangibles are less liquid hant PPE thus; we need to place it below PPE
