I think Option B looks promising, but I'm not completely confident. The question mentions that the interest on the finance lease is included in financing activities, so that might be a clue.

This question is really testing our understanding of cash flow statements and the treatment of interest expense. I think the key is to determine which changes in working capital items should be included in the net cash flow from operating activities.
