Option C

The consistency principle states that, once you adopt an accounting principle or method, continue to follow it consistently in future accounting periods. Only change an accounting principle or method if the new version in some way improves reported financial results. if you make such a change, fully document its effects and include this documentation in the notes accompanying the financial statements.
