The correct answer is B                                                        

Explanation:

Job costing is a specific order costing method in which jobs are undertaken in order to meet customers' specific requirements. In job costing, costs are easily traced to a specific product or job.

Process costing is a continuous operation costing method in which                            products are produced as a mass of items moving from one process or department to another. In process costing, costs are not easily traced to a specific product.
