Solution

The correct option is B double
In a double entry system, every transaction has two effects. One is debit and other is credit. In Trial Balance, balances of all the ledger accounts are recorded. If debit side of trial balance matches with credit side it shows the mathematical accuracy of all the accounts.
So, if an organisation has followed the double entry system they must prepare a trial balance.
