C : expensing a part of the cost of a building

Explanation:

A deferral is an amount of money that was earned or paid but that would be included in the income statement in a future accounting period. According to this, the answer is expensing a part of the cost of a building because the company pays the cost of the building but includes a part of it in the current period and the remaining will be recorded in a future period.
