Solution

The correct option is C Realisation account
Realisation account is prepared to find out the profit or loss on realisation of assets and payment of liabilities.To calculate the actual profit or loss it is necessary that all the assets should be transferred to realisation account at its gross figure. That's why provision is not shown as a deduction from debtors.It is transferred to credit side of realisation account like other liabilities.
