Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
According to Canadian tax laws, lessors may claim full CCA only on exempt assets. Non-exempt assets will be subject to special leasing property rules that may limit the lessor's ability to claim CCA. Lessees may claim the CCA on leased assets if they meet certain conditions, but they are not allowed to claim the lease payment as an expense. Therefore, options A, C, and D are incorrect.
