C) Free cash flow

Explanation:

A free cash flow (FCF) is how much cash a company has left after paying all the expenses related to its operations and capital expenditures excluding depreciation.

FCFs are used to determine a company's value and to determine how profitable or not a new or existing project might be. The discounted FCF method is the most commonly used method to value a company.
