b. a share of stock
c. public corporation’s employees
d. computer used by an accountant
The correct answer is Option (D) Computer used by an accountant
Explanation -
Note that capital in "Finance" would include a share of a stock or a "Deposit of Silver."
However, in economics, capital is used for referring to a factor of production that enhances the output of goods and services. Just as an example, the computer used by an accountant makes work swift and efficient. Therefore, it enhances the output of service and hence is a capital from the perspective of an economist.
