    The answer is all of the above because the entry to recognize a lost inventory is:

    Dr. Inventory loss (Expense)
    Cr. Inventory
    So this will increase expense and when expense is increase this will decrease retained earnings which is part of the equity section. And finally the inventory will be reduced which is an asset account.
