Solution
The correct option is A Provision
Provision is an amount set aside, by charging it to profit and loss account or statement of profit and loss, to provide for a known liability the amount of which cannot be determined with accuracy. It is charged in the profit and loss account on an estimate basis. In other words, a provision is a charge against profit for the purpose of providing any liability or loss.
