The answer is option A

Explanation:

The basil society, a non governmental not-for-profit organization, receives unconditional pledges which will be collected over a length of time longer than one year as the pledges are receivable and valued at their present values.

The promise should be reported as contributions or pledges receivable for a specific period. It is then treated as an increase in net assets with donor imposed restrictions. The fair value of unconditional promises to give cash expected are collected in 1 year or more is the present value of the estimated future cash flows.
