Correct Answer: Option C

Explanation

Drawings is the withdrawals from a business by a business owner for his personal use. It represents a reduction of owners' equity (capital) in the business.

Drawings account have a debit balance which increases assets (remember in the balance sheet, assets are recorded on the debit side of the account while liabilities have a credit ballance). Hence drawings would reduce owners capital and increase the asset balance.
