I'm not sure about option B. Recognizing the provision in other comprehensive income doesn't seem appropriate in this situation.

I agree with Tammara. It makes sense to recognize the provision for the lease payments that UV is obligated to make.

I think option A is correct. A provision should be recognized for the unavoidable lease payments with a corresponding charge to profit or loss.
