A is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Financial accounting translation is a corporate accounting process. In this process, the parent company translates the financial statements of its entity in a foreign country into reporting currency. There are three methods of translation. It can be translated by the market rate on the reporting date, by weighted average exchange, and by historical exchange rates. After the translation of financial standards, the parent company should include these amounts into the consolidated income statements.
