The correct answer is letter "D": Postdated checks and I. O. U.'s.

Explanation:

"Cash" is classified, for accounting purposes, as any financial resource which can easily be transformed into real cash. Examples of cash are coins, currency, checks, money orders, bank drafts, or Certificates of Deposit (CD). Cash is the default exchange medium for products and services to be exchanged, at its basic level.

I. O. U. or "I owe you" is a term commonly used in accounting related to accounts receivables. These are not considered cash since they have an extended repayment term.
