C is correct because error of principle has to do with two different types of account and freezer is a real account while expenses is a norminal account

To those confuse pls note that Error of reversal of entries occurs when you debit what you should have originally credited and credit what you should have orignially debited, while Error of commission is Wrong totaling, Recording with wrong amount, Wrong posting while Compensating error is Where two errors of equal amounts, but on opposite sides of the accounts, cancel each other out
