Answer:

c. immediately after the property, plant, and equipment.

Explanation:

We must remember than the assets must be listed in a decreasing order of liquidity that is, the closer the asset is to be converted to cash, the higher is on the list

so we ussually got:

current assets

cash

account receivable (cash we have to collect)

inventory (we need to sale and collect to make it cash)

non-current assets

PPE (is not easy to sale a 10 floor building or an iron-cast furnance)

Intangible assets

How can we sale our goodwill ? The only way to do so is by selling the business entirely.

How can we sale a patent ? we need to findsomeone willing to purchased, agree to a price and collected

As notice intangibles are less liquid hant PPE thus; we need to place it below PPE
