Answer:

The correct answer is C)

Explanation:

A pledge in this context is a vow or a promise to make a donation or give something at a future date. It may be vocalized or communicated in writing.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), sets out the criteria for recognizing a pledge or a promise as follows:

Relevance— If the promise is important enough to make a difference in the users decisions, then it ought to be recognized
Definitions—If the item satisfies the definition of a component of a financial statement, then it ought to be recognized;
Dependability— When the pledge is based on a fact that can be recorded, verifiable, and neutral, then it can be recognized
Measurability— if it allows for measurability, then it should be recognized

It is clearly stated that where the certainty or reliability of a promise or a vow is difficult that measure, it is better to decline from recognizing such a pledge.

Cheers!
