Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
In Australia, intragroup dividends that are fully franked do not require tax effect adjustments on consolidation because the franking credits attached to the dividends can be used to offset the tax liabilities of the receiving entity, thus eliminating the need for any additional tax adjustments within the group.
