The correct answer is letter "C": Justifies ignoring the matching principle or the realization principle in certain circumstances.

Explanation:

The materiality accounting principle states that some of the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles can be omitted in the entry of an item while record-keeping a company's transactions only in the case the entry does not have any influence on the Financial Statements. Those principles could imply matching or realization principles.
