Answer:

B. the cost of a patent giving exclusive rights to a process.

Step-by-step explanation:

Intangible assets are non physical long term resources that meet the asset recognition criteria in that it is a resource controlled by an entity as a result of a past event for which future economic benefits will flow to the entity. It must be reliably measurable.

Intangible assets that are currently reported on the balance sheet as non-current assets. These include trademark, copyrights, goodwill, patents etc.

Organizational culture, loyal and profitable customer relationships, employee skills and motivation are not attributes that are measurable.
