First option is correct.
Notes:
Listed property:
Some assets are used by taxpayers for personal uses and try to receive maximum depreciation benefit out of them. Listed property provision avoids such tax abuse. Listed property includes assets which can be used for personal uses and includes assets such as passenger automobiles, computers and peripherals, video recording equipment etc…
Qualified business use: if listed property is used fifty percent or less for a qualified business, section 179 election and bonus depreciation is not allowed and depreciation is allowed using the straight-line method over an alternative recovery period.
