    C. VL = VU + PV (Tax Shield) - PV (CFD)

    Explanation:

    The static trade off theory is a theory of capital structure in corporate finance, first proposed by Alan Kraus and Robert H. Litzenberger. The theory emphasizes the trade-offs between the tax benefits of increasing leverage and the cost of bankruptcy associated with higher leverage. The answer is C as we know relative to the unleveraged firm, leverage provides both costs and benefits. The benefits are the tax shields provided by debt.
