Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The critical event for revenue recognition is the transfer of control of goods or services to the customer. Measurability requires that the amount of consideration being received for the goods or services can be reliably measured. Both of these conditions are usually satisfied at the time of sale, making choice C the correct answer. A, B, and D are not typically the earliest moments that these conditions are met.
