Answer: c .

The calculation of remaining life for the purpose of depreciation is as follows:

The two remaining years of the 5 year estimated depreciation span + The five years extra of the machine's useful life = 7 years

Or,

As per accounting principles and standard in such case the depreciation amount is to be allocated among the remaining period = Original - Completed + Extended

                                             = (5 - 3 + 5) years

                                             = 7 years.
