Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Retained equity is not a term used in IFRS. The correct term is retained earnings, which is a component of shareholders' equity or owners' equity. Capital and reserves, as well as shareholders' funds and owners' equity, are all acceptable terms used to describe equity under IFRS.
