________ method is especially suited to mines, oil wells, quarries, sandpits and similar assets of a wasting character.
Depletion
The correct answer is option 3. The Depletion method is used for natural resources like mines, oil wells, quarries, and sandpits, which deplete over time as they are extracted or used. This method allocates the cost of these resources as they are consumed. The other methods (amortisation, depreciation, and dilapidation) are used for intangible assets, tangible assets, and property condition, respectively, but not for natural resources.
