Answer:

D. disclose a liability and provide a range of outcomes.

Explanation:

As there are 40% chances to the outcome that liability will occur, it is not nominal to be ignored. And therefore, it shall be shown in the balance sheet, as a note, with different possibilities and their expected results.

As the amount attached is huge and that the company shall not ignore such a coming liability, as if it do not happen, it can be reversed, and if it does the company shall be ready to have the liability in case of any default.
