Answer: C

Explanation:

The costs considered for Building Product Disclosure and Optimization (BPDO) cost-based credits should reflect the actual costs of the materials used in the project. Furniture is considered optional for these calculations. This approach allows for flexibility in reporting and aligns with the intent of the BPDO credits to encourage the use of sustainable materials.
