We can also confirm this is correct because we have:

Note that the contingent liability is irrelevant here as it is not
recognised. The share price of $1.40 is also irrelevant.
A, B and D are incorrect because they don’t include the retained
earnings (Option A) or include the contingent liability (Option B) or
use the market value of the shares (Option D).

C is correct because cash paid to suppliers calculated as follows:
As there is an increase in prepaid expenses, this implies that the
cash outlaid for prepaid expenses exceeded the amount expensed
during the financial year. The additional cash outlaid must be
added to the operating expenses. As there is an increase in trade
payables, this implies that the cash outlaid to creditors must have
been less than the goods and services expensed during the
period. To arrive at the lesser amount of cash paid, the increase in
trade payables must be deducted from the operating expenses.
A is incorrect because the movement in prepaid expenses has
been deducted rather than added.
B is incorrect because the movement in prepaid expenses has
been deducted rather than added and the movement in trade
payables has been added rather than deducted
D is incorrect because the movement in trade payables has been
added rather than deducted
