Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Easier credit may increase sales (A) and improve customer relations (D), but it may also increase bad debt losses (B) as customers may not pay their debts. Easier credit may also increase the cost of financing receivables, as more money will be tied up in accounts receivable for a longer period of time, potentially leading to higher interest charges and administrative costs. Therefore, statement C is incorrect.
