Answer:

c

Step-by-step explanation:

WACC = weight of equity x cost of equity + weight of debt x cost of debt x (1 - tax rate)

weight of debt = D / (D + E)

It is used to discount the expected cash flows when the firm has debt and equity in the capital structure. It is suitable because in the calculation of WACC, debt and equity are included
