b. Liabilities assumed, at book value.

Explanation:

International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and International Accounting Standards (IAS) require everything (Assets, Liabilities and Non-controlling interest) to be measured at the fair market value, the amount a third-party would pay on the open market, at the time of acquisition - the date that the acquirer took control of the target company.
