A is 100% right answer.

The answer D is applicable for net domestic capital formation [NDCF] not for GDCF because;

GDCF - Dep. = NDCF.

Gross fixed capital formation consists of resident producers' acquisitions, less disposals, of fixed assets during a given period plus certain additions to the value of non-produced assets realised by the productive activity of producer or institutional units. Fixed assets are tangible or intangible assets produced as outputs from processes of production that are themselves used repeatedly, or continuously, in processes of production for more than one year.

GFCF is called "gross" because the measure does not make any adjustments to deduct the consumption of fixed capital (depreciation of fixed assets) from the investment figures. For the analysis of the development of the productive capital stock, it is important to measure the value of the acquisitions less disposals of fixed assets beyond replacement for obsolescence of existing assets due to normal wear and tear. "Net fixed investment" includes the depreciation of existing assets from the figures for new fixed investment, and is called net fixed capital formation.

Hey when we use the word "gross". In that both expenditure and income comes na ?

Yes, In gross word all the indirect expenses and income are involved.

Gross-Depreciation=Net.

In gross assets include all annual income.

I believe the answer given is wrong as gross figure includes depreciation amount as well and that amount is deducted to reach to net figure.
