I'm not sure, but I think it might be Option C based on the revenue recognition principle.

This question is a piece of cake! Everyone knows that advertising costs should be deferred to align with the periods they benefit. Option B all the way!

Option B seems like the correct answer here. Advertising costs are often deferred to match the revenue generated by the advertising.
