BSpecial-use properties, new construction, and properties where income and sales data are limited✓ Correct

DProperties that are assessed below market value

The cost approach is most reliable when there is little market sales data or income data, such as for special-use properties (schools, hospitals, government buildings), new or recently constructed properties, and unique properties with no comparables. For older properties with significant depreciation, accurately measuring depreciation can be challenging.
