Solution

The correct answer is D. According to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment, there is no requirement for an entity to revalue property on an annual basis. The standard allows for revaluation but does not mandate it. The frequency of revaluations depends upon the volatility of the values of the items of property, plant and equipment being revalued.
