    (C) FIFO

    FIFO

    Explanation:

    - FIFO inventory tends to be higher than the LIFO inventory when the prices are increasing. Contrary to LIFO, FIFO assumes that the expensive or highest amount goods are in the inventory where as in the case of LIFO these products are first to be sold. So according to the data provided inventory at end of year (December 31) and start of Year 2 is higher for FIFO than LIFO. At end of year 2 amount of goods sold must have equaled the amount of goods purchased which means higher inventory under FIFO than LIFO which means Option C is correct.
