Answer:

A. Net assets without donor restrictions-board-designated for research

Explanation:

The accounting system of non profit organisations classifies net assets as those with with donor restrictions and those without donor restrictions.

The assets with donor restrictions are set aside internally by the nonprofit organisation for a particular purpose. That is board designated activity for example in the given scenario funds will finance a long-term study on the career paths of the university's graduates.

So in this instance the net asset is without donor restrictions-board-designated for research activities
