Haha, 'none of these'? Really? That's a bold move, but I don't think it's the right call here. C is definitely the winner. Gotta love these accounting exams, they keep you on your toes!

Oh boy, this is a classic. I remember studying this in class - C is the way to go. Proprietary funds are just like private businesses, keeping tabs on all the ups and downs. Now, where did I put my calculator...?

Aha, I know this one! It's definitely C. Proprietary funds are all about the big picture - tracking both increases and decreases in economic resources. A and B are too narrow, gotta go with the comprehensive answer.

I'm not sure, but I think the answer might be C, as it considers both increases and decreases in economic resources.

Hmm, this one's tricky. I'm between B and C, but I think C is the better choice since it covers both increases and decreases in economic resources. Gotta love these accounting questions, they really make you think!
