The correct option is C Bensons account
Credit sales are recorded in sales day book and the total of sales day book is posted in sales account. Error occurred while posting in Bensons account which means that the sales account is correctly effected and only Bensons account is posted for wrong amount. Hence it will effect personal account of Bensons only which will lead to disagreement of trial balance.
