Correct Answer: Option D

Explanation

When the owner of the business withdraws money from the business for personal use, it is called ''drawings'' and must be recorded for future reference.

Any type of drawings reduces the capital or owner's equity of a business, so it is important to keep track of these drawings and manage them within your accounts. However, drawings are not considered a business expense.
