Choice "d" is incorrect. "Likely misstatement" is a measure of misstatements the auditor considers likely to exist, that have not been specifically identified.
Choice "c" is incorrect. The term "likely misstatement" includes only an estimate of potential errors. It does not include specific misstatements identified during the audit.
