The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

The quick ratio is calculated as: \[ \text{Quick Ratio} = \frac{\text{Quick Assets}}{\text{Current Liabilities}} \] Purchasing goods for cash reduces quick assets (cash), as inventory is not included in quick assets. This decreases the numerator, leading to a lower quick ratio.
