The correct option is C Correct recording in the cash book but not posted in the ledger at all
Transactions are recorded first in cash book and journal and then posted to ledger and the balances of the ledger accounts is transferred to the trial balance. In between this some entries might be recorded in one account but omitted in another, in this case the trial balance will not tally.
For example, for cash sales cash book is debited while sales account is omitted to be credited, this will lead to difference in the balances. This balance is transferred to trial balance which does not tallies.
