Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": is a systematic way to link an indirect cost or group of indirect costs to cost objects.

Explanation:

Cost allocation is the method of assigning costs to cost objects. Cost objects are items or activities that are preferable to have their own costs allocated such as a product or a department within a firm. Cost allocation is a measure of profitability at the moment of evaluating a subsidiary. It is mainly used for financial reporting purposes.
