The correct answer is:

d. From 2007 to 2008, assets increased and liabilities decreased.

Explanation:

The value of the house increased by 10,000, from $315,000 to $325,000.  This is an asset.

The amount of the mortgage decreased by 25,000, from $265,000 to $240,000.  This is a liability.

The value of the car decreased by 4,000, from $10,000 to $6,000.  This is an asset.

The amount of the car loan decreased by 4,000, from $5,000 to $1,000.  This is a liability.

The savings were depleted, all $2000 gone.  This was an asset.

New credit card debt is opened, for $1,500.  This is a liability.

This means the assets had the following changes:

+10,000 - 4000 - 2000 = 6000 - 2000 = 4000

This is a positive integer, which indicates the assets increased.

The liabilities had the following changes:

-25000 - 4000 + 1500 = -29000 + 1500 = -27500

This is a negative integer, which indicates the liabilities decreased.
