I believe the answer is: c. Sam’s assets increased by more than his liabilities.

A net worth represent the amount of financial value that a person have after removing all of his/her debt out of the equation.

A net worth is calculated by counting total assets - Total liabilities.

For a net worth to be increased, the only way possible is to increase the assets more than the liabilities.
