Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
FIFO (First-In, First-Out) produces the same cost of merchandise sold under both the periodic and the perpetual inventory systems because it assumes that the oldest inventory items are sold first, which does not change whether inventory is tracked continuously (perpetual) or at the end of the period (periodic).
