Answer:

b) Borrow using short-terms note payable and use the proceeds to reduce long-term debt.

Explanation:

Current ratio is a liquidity ratio that measures the ability of a business to service it's short-term obligations. It tells how the business can use current assets to settle it's debt.

The formula for calculating current ratio is Current Assets/ Current liabilities

So of a company borrows using short term notes payable, assets will not change while current liabilities increases. The denominator will increase resulting in reduction of the ratio less than 2.
