Name the term used for depreciating a company's intangible assets?
- A.
  
  Amortization
- B.
  
  Accruals
- C.
  
  Appreciation
- D.
  
  Amalgamation
Correct Answer
A. Amortization

Explanation
Amortization is the correct answer because it refers to the process of gradually reducing the value of intangible assets over time. Intangible assets, such as patents, copyrights, and trademarks, are not physical in nature but still hold value for a company. Amortization allows companies to allocate the cost of these assets over their useful life, reflecting their diminishing value. This helps to accurately represent the asset's value on the company's financial statements. Accruals, appreciation, and amalgamation are not related to the depreciation of intangible assets, making them incorrect choices.
