Answer: C. cash flows that occur after payback.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Payback Period and Discounted Payback Period capital budgeting evaluation techniques are used to find out how long it will take for an investment to pay back it's initial outlay.

Once this point is gotten to however, the method stops working and as such does not take into account cashflows after the Payback period has been reached. This means that the method does not cater for profit but rather for Break-Even points alone which can be very unattractive because people embark on capital projects mostly to make profits.
