Solution

The correct option is A Ledger
The first step involves identifying the transactions to be recorded and preparing the source documents which are in turn recorded in the basic book of original entry called journal and are then posted to individual accounts in the principal book called ledger.

The process of transferring journal entry to the individual accounts is called posting.
This sequence causes the journal to be called the Book of Original Entry and the ledger account is the Principal Book of Entry.
