To see the effect on Robertos balance sheet, we will first have to get the total assets and liabilities

Total assets = cash + investment + house + car

Total liabilities = credit card + personal loan + mortgage + car loan

Substituting the values, we will get

Total asset = $166000

Total liabilities = $1010000

Difference = $844000

To pay off car loan, he uses his investment

Total asset = $166000-5000

=$161000

Total liabilities = $1010000-5000

=$1005000

Difference=$844000

Therefore the answer is letter C, the difference between asset and liability will remain the same.
