Solution

The correct option is C not affect agreement of the trial balance
Rs.1000 paid for rent need to be debited to Rent A/c but wrongly debited to his landlord Krishna'a a/c. Though the accounting entry is having an error but this will not affect the trial balance as ultimately Rs. 1000 debited.

Rectification entry will be as under:

Rent A/c Dr. 1000
To Krishna A/c 1000
