I feel like option A is more about specific costs, while B is definitely about sharing, so I’m leaning towards B for this question.

I keep mixing up apportionment with charging overheads to cost units. I need to clarify what each term means.

I think overhead apportionment has something to do with sharing costs, but I'm not entirely sure if it's just between two cost centers or more.
