Think Logically

(a) and (c) are actual cash or cash equivalents therefore included in financial statement

(b) is not actual cash but can be realized in cash ie cash equivalents required to be included in financial statements

Now we have no other choice EXCEPT (d), is not cash or cash equivalents.

Postdated cheques are nothing but a signed paper like bills written with IOU's.
