Answer 1

Dear student, only one question is allowed at a time. I am answering the first question

1)

As per IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, contingent liabilities are events that may result in future expected outflow of resources of an organization and which can be estimated

Legal cases brought against a company may result in future expected outflow of resources of an organization. So, this will be categorized and reported as contingent liability

Future operating losses, Costs of an expected future restructuring of a company, Onerous contracts cannot be estimated and so will not be categorized under contingent liabilities

So, as per above discussion, option A is the correct option
