C Correct answer
Explanation

Depreciation is a non-cash expense because it represents the allocation of an asset's cost over its useful life, not an actual cash outflow. It's an accounting entry to spread the cost of tangible assets. Option C is correct. Depreciation is neither an asset nor a liability, and it's certainly not a cash item.
