    Refers to an entry on the left side of an account.

    • Debit

    • Account Tittle

    • Date

    Correct Answer
    A. Debit
    Explanation
    Debit refers to an entry on the left side of an account. In accounting, every transaction has two sides - debit and credit. Debit represents an increase in assets or expenses, or a decrease in liabilities or revenues. It is recorded on the left side of an account to show the increase in value or decrease in a liability. This helps in maintaining the balance of the accounting equation, which states that assets must equal liabilities plus equity. Therefore, the correct answer is debit.
