Given the statement above, a) is not the answer because her net cash flow is not negative ... b) this area is a problem area because she does not much in savings and she is taking 2/3 of it for a down payment, but she continues to save and invest money monthly which is good ... c) not a problem because she has a retirement plan and has investments ... d) would give me the most trouble because she does not have any way to protect what is hers in the apartment should a fire or robbery take place, she would lose everything.

I believe the correct answer is d
