Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation

In posting accounting entries, always bear in mind the basic accounting principle of ''for every debit entry, there must be a corresponding credit entry''. In the above question, a business paid out money to its creditor (someone owed by the business) through a check, this means that, the business cash/bank accounts will be debited (take money from) while the drawer (creditor whom is owed by the business) will be credited.
