Solution

The correct option is A Realisation Account
The lump sum amount paid by the partner is an expense for the firm since it has to be returned to the partner later on. All expenses need to be debited to the realisation account at the time of dissolution, hence, the payment is debited to the Realisation account at the time of dissolution of the firm.
