Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The specific identification method for inventory costing is typically used for items that are unique and not interchangeable, such as organs at a music store, farm implements, and antiques. A hardware store, on the other hand, usually sells many interchangeable items in large quantities, making the specific identification method impractical for its inventory costing.
