A

Explanation:

For an accounting manual, if your audience has different background of education then you need to keep different section for different audience. The thing is, if you write it for highest level then bookkeepers will have difficulty in understanding it. If you write for lower level, then it will be useless for higher level of audience.

So the manual should include different section for different audience.
