C)   casualty factors which hinder the asset from indefinitely

 

 

C) is correct,  

 

A) wear and tear yes as the older an asset is greater use made of it, it's commercial value is deteriorated as resale is based on remaining expected useful life, as viewed in the design by manufacturer. 

 

storm damage or weather damage, rusting for instance an asset will be retired earlier.

 

there is also technical obsolence like in mobile phone industry.
