The correct option is D Asset
Prepaid expenses are those expenses which have been paid in advance and related benefits are not consumed within the same accounting period. Examples-prepaid salary, prepaid rent, etc. Prepaid expenses are recorded in the books at the end of an accounting period to show true numbers of a business. Prepaid (Unexpired) expense is a personal account and is shown on the assets side of the balance sheet.
