Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
I (intangible assets with indefinite useful lives), II (intangible assets not yet available for use), and IV (goodwill acquired in a business combination) need to be tested for impairment annually, regardless of whether there is any indication of impairment. III (intangible assets accounted for under the revaluation method) does not specifically require annual impairment testing; it depends on the applicable accounting standards and circumstances.
