    Just Looking

    I would say A. You are looking for an activity that causes the cost. In B, a better measure would be number of units manufactured as you inspect all units, not just those sold. In C, depreciation is written off over the useful life in years of a piece of equipment. In D, the number of machines is not an activity.
