Solution

The correct option is C Journal
The transactions are recorded first of all in the journal and then they are posted to the ledger. Thus the journal is the book of first or original entry while the ledger is the book of second entry. Journal records transactions in a chronological order. Journal is more reliable then ledger. The process of recording transactions is termed as journalising.
