D, all the way. A and C are the classics when it comes to tangible merchandise inventory. Income expenditure? That's like trying to value a unicorn.

I'm going to have to go with D on this one. A and C just make the most sense for valuing tangible merchandise. The income expenditure method sounds more like something you'd use for a business, not inventory.
