The answer is letter D.

Explanation:

IFRS permits recoveries of impairment to be recorded for all tangible assets. Besides GAAP does not allow for inventory reversals, while IFRS permits them under certain conditions. Another major difference is that GAAP requires financial statements to include a statement of comprehensive income.
