Solution

The correct option is A Written Down Method
WDV method is a charge on declining/reducing basis unlike SLM method which is charged equally throughout the period.
Since depreciation amount reduces under WDV method, repairs pertaining to the asset increases due to the increased cost of maintenance not covered by the depreciation charge.
