Explanation:

To determine the answer, we analyze the statement about car costs. After buying a car, there are operating (e.g., fuel, maintenance) and ownership (e.g., insurance, depreciation) expenses, so the car continues to cost money. Option B correctly states the statement is true due to these ongoing costs. Option A is wrong as costs don't stop. Options C and D have incorrect true statements (selling or stopping costs don't align with reality).

Answer:

B. The statement is true because there are maintenance and consumption costs along the road.
