Final Answer : D, Explanation :  When $200,000 cash is invested by stockholders in exchange for stock, the amount of cash (an asset) increases by $200,000, while stockholders' equity (a component of equity) increases by the same $200,000. This means that both assets and stockholders' equity increase by $200,000. Therefore, the correct option is D.
