Final Answer : C, Explanation :  The financial break-even point is generally higher than the accounting break-even point because it takes into account not just the fixed and variable costs (like the accounting break-even does), but also the financing costs and any required return for investors. This makes the financial break-even point a more comprehensive measure, reflecting the total amount of revenue needed to cover all costs and financial obligations.
