The equity section of the balance sheet in a partnership includes the capital accounts of each partner, which shows the investment made by each partner and their share of profits or losses. This section is significantly different from that of a sole trader as a partnership involves multiple owners, each with their own capital accounts, while a sole trader only has one owner and one capital account. The other options may also have some differences between a partnership and sole trader, but they are not as significant as the difference in the equity section.
