Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Depreciation expense is a non-cash charge that reduces net income on the income statement. When preparing the statement of cash flows using the indirect method, depreciation expense is added back to net income in the operating activities section to adjust for the fact that it did not actually use any cash.
