Where did you find this question? Are you sure it does not say which of the following should not be classified as development costs? :-) The correct answer for the question as you have typed it it indeed C. (Although even though these would be classified as development costs, they would not be capitalised because there is no mention of the conditions for capitalisation being fulfilled).
