In recording an accounting transaction in a double-entry systema. the number of debit accounts must equal the number of credit accounts. b.there must always be entries made on both sides of the accounting equation. c.the amount of the debits must equal the amount of the credits. d.there must only be two accounts affected by any transaction.

c. The amount of the debits must equal the amount of the credits.

Explanation:

a. The number of debit accounts must equal the number of credit accounts.

An account means one record entry of a transaction. There may be more credit or more debit accounts, depending on the transactions.

b. There must always be entries made on both sides of the accounting equation.

Although this happens most often, it is not always true.

The Accounting Equation: Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity

The two sides are separated by the equal sign. There can be a transaction that's only on one side. Example:

I buy a chair for $50 cash. Only the furniture and cash accounts are affected, and they are both on the assets side.

c. The amount of the debits must equal the amount of the credits.

This must always be equal. When you increase an asset (debit), you will increase owner's equity (credit). When you decrease an asset (credit) you could either decrease owner's equity or liability (debit).

d. There must only be two accounts affected by any transaction.

This is untrue. Sometimes, three or more accounts can be affected. For example, if I buy a chair, giving $20 down payment and borrowing $30 from the bank. The three accounts affected are furniture (increase by $50), cash (decrease by $20), and bank loan (increase by $30).
