A. B. C. D.Explanation
When prices are rising, LIFO will produce the lowest ending inventory value because the last in (highest cost) inventory is the first out. This leaves the oldest inventory on hand and since it was purchased at lower prices, it has the lowest cost and ending inventory will have the lowest value.
