Solution

The correct option is B An asset at its cost
The cost concept states that an asset should be recorded at its historical cost and not at the market value.
As per Cost Concept, the fixed asset is recorded its historical cost or purchase price plus expenses incurred to use it.
The fixed asset is never recorded at its market price due to this concept only.
