Correct Answer: Added


Solution : Answer = Added

When calculating cash flow from operating activities, a decrease in inventory would be added to the net profit. This adjustment accounts for the fact that the decrease in inventory represents cash that was used to purchase goods, which is an operating activity and should be added back to the net profit.
Hence, the correct option is 1.
