• D. Only external investors

Answer: (A)

Accounting provides financial information to a wide range of users to support their economic decisions. It serves internal users like managers for planning and control, and external users such as investors, lenders, suppliers, regulators, and employees who rely on financial statements to assess profitability, solvency, and cash flows.
