Why the answer is A, and why the others tempt you.
Long-term liabilities are obligations due for repayment beyond one year. Only the long-term loan of ₦100,000 qualifies as a long-term liability. Trade creditors and accrued expenses are current liabilities, while capital is the owner's equity, not a liability in the traditional sense.
