Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Current liabilities are debts that are expected to be paid off within one year or one operating cycle (whichever is longer). Therefore, choice A is correct as it states that the debts will be paid in less than one year. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not meet the definition of current liabilities.
