Explanation:

To prepare T-accounts, just follow a simple step by posting each transaction to two accounts or more as the case may.  After all transactions have been posted, balance the accounts by identifying the differences between the two sides of each account.  Use the balances (where only one transaction is recorded in an account, that becomes the balance) to extract the Trial Balance.

the correct answer is b.)
