Solution

The correct option is A Deducted
Sometimes, bad debts may occur at the end of accounting period after the accounts are balanced and the trial balance is prepared. In such a case, bad debts should be brought into account by passing the adjusting entry, that is, debiting bad debts account and crediting sundry debtors' account.
