the yearly salary
B
the commission
C
the mortgage
D
the rental property

Explanation

A liability is a debt or financial obligation that a person owes. The $910 monthly mortgage payment is associated with a loan Mr. Morgan must repay, so the mortgage is a liability. His salary, commission, and rental property are sources of income or assets, not liabilities.
