Answer:

The current option is A,the purchase of a new home

Explanation:

The house is classified under investment because it is capable of bringing return.It is possible for the owner to sublet a part of the building in return for yearly rent or even the entire building.

The purchase of a new tv cannot be said to be income generating as it for home pleasure.

The purchase of a new yacht falls into the same category as the tv except if it purchased by a boat cruising company.

The stoves and washing machines are for usage at  home, not meant to bring in returns
