Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Service organizations do not involve production of goods, so the cost classification of production/non-production does not apply. Direct/indirect costs and fixed/variable costs may still be relevant in service organizations. Controllable/uncontrollable costs can also be applicable to service organizations.
