b. an increase of $200 which will be subtracted from net income

c. an increase of $200 which will be added to net income

d. a decrease of $200 which will be subtracted from net income

Answer :

Answer:

b. an increase  of $ 200 which shall be subtracted from net income.

Explanation:

The difference between  the opening and closing balances is an increase in the prepaid expense account.

The prepaid expense is an asset account and an increase indicates that cash has been spent on acquiring the asset and thus it is considered as an application of cash and thus reduced from the net income.
