Answer: C) eliminating the effects of income statement transactions that did not result in a corresponding increase or decrease in cash

Explanation:

The income statement comprises of entries that are not cash based in nature but help in the computation of taxes amongst other things such as depreciation and amortization.

When calculating net cash provided from operating activities therefore the income calculated should be adjusted for any expenses or revenue that are not cash based in nature and so will not result in a corresponding increase or decrease in cash.

For instance, adding back depreciation and amortization to the net cash balance as both do not actually reduce the cash balance of the company.
