Explanation:

To determine the validity, we analyze: After buying a car, operating (e.g., fuel, maintenance) and ownership (e.g., insurance, depreciation) expenses persist. Option A claims it stops costing, which is wrong. Option B says after selling, but costs stop when sold. Option D also has incorrect logic. Option C correctly states the statement is true as maintenance, fuel, etc., are ongoing costs.

Answer:

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