b) it matures within the year and will be retired through the use of current assets.

– Current liabilities are those liabilities that will be settled within one year or during the operating cycle if it is longer than one year. Long-term debt that matures within one year and will be retired through the use of current assets is a current liability. - HOCK

It cannot be 'c) management plans to refinance it within the year' as companies only refinance assests which are already current in order to show them as 'Non-current' in the balance sheet.
