Depreciation accounted for to recover the cost that is incurred on fixed assets over their useful life. As a result it reduces profit and hence, reduces tax liability.

Note: Depreciation has to be charged completly or partially even if there is loss.

Hence, option B is correct to some extent but not completly.
