Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The income statement and statement of owner's equity show the financial performance and changes in equity of the business over a period of time. The balance sheet, on the other hand, reports the financial position of the business at a specific point in time. Therefore, it should be prepared after the income statement and the statement of owner's equity have been completed.
