Choice "b" is correct. A disclaimer of opinion means that the auditor was unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a reasonable basis for an opinion , thus, NO opinion is expressed. An unjustified accounting change is a GAAP departure that may result in a qualified or adverse opinion, not a disclaimer.
