D. Adequate for most businesses.

Explanation:

This postulation of cash on hand by Day i. e of 52, is important to know especially if the company is at its very early stage of its lifetime; example is a start up when they are not making any cash sales or even due to seasonal cycles where there may be a slump in sales made.

It is also important in knowing how much money you have on hand allows you to adjust your expenditure if necessary and, if your days cash available figure starts to get too low, drastically cut back spending.
