The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

Process costing is the process of quantifying the expenses of the company associated with the production of a specific product. It is important to determine process costs because goods businesses must determine how much it costs to manufacture a product so that they can set their sales price effectively so that a profit is being produced. Process costing systems assign certain expenses to products by calculating the total costs at each stage of the manufacturing process, adding the costs and then dividing these costs by the total number of units that have been manufactured. Process costing systems are applicable when homogeneous goods are produced from a series of related operations.
