Answer:

d.the company is precisely breaking even.

Explanation:

Margin of safety is referred to current sales - Break even sales ratio to current sales as a percentage.

Basically it is quoted as follows:

[tex]\frac{Current\ sales\ -\ Break-even\ Sales}{Current\ Sales} \times 100[/tex]

Therefore, when the current sales = Break even sales then only the company will have margin of safety = 0
