    Answer: Option (B) is correct

    Explanation:

    Raw material purchased on credit from a vendor is a liability and it is shown under current liabilities in "accounts payable". Since raw material purchased on credit and payment is to be made after two months.

    Payment due gives rise to liability. Now current liability is a company's short term obligations that are to be paid back within a year. Here the firm will have to make payment within two months to the vendor.
