Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Property, plant, and equipment (PP&E) are long-term assets vital to business operations and not easily converted into cash. Choice C, a truck held for resale by an automobile dealership, should not be classified as PP&E because it is inventory for the dealership, intended for sale to customers rather than for use in operations.
