Correct Option: B
Explanation:
  1. Consistency: The consistency principle states  that, once you adopt an accounting principle or method, continue to follow it consistently in future accounting periods. Only change an accounting principle or method if the new version in some way improves reported financial results. 
    2. Comparability: It is one of the key qualities which accounting information must possess. Accounting information is comparable when accounting standards and polices are applied consistently from one period to another and from one region to another.
    3. Conservatism: Under the conservatism principle, if there is uncertainty about incurring a loss, you should tend towards recording the loss. Conversely, if there is uncertainty about recording a gain you should not record the gain.
    4. Disclosure: Full disclosure principle requires a company to provide the necessary information so that people who are accustomed to reading financial information can make informed decisions concerning the company. All relevant financial information should be summarised and presented in the accounting statements.
