    Option "C"is the correct answer to the following statement.

    Explanation:

    The retrospective method effect requires the development of new accounting procedures. In other terms, the retrospective method would affect the reporting of past time financial statements.

    In this situation, the company will use the equity method at the place of the Fair-value method for calculating and control over their investment, so the above option is correct.
