    Solution

    The realization principle states that revenue should be recognized or recorded when goods or services have been delivered to the customer and the company can reasonably expect to receive payment for those goods or services. In other words, revenue is recognized when there is an earning process completed, and there is a reasonable assurance of payment. Therefore, option c, "When goods have been delivered," is the correct answer as per the realization principle.
