Answer
Answer: C. Transfer of debit balances to receivables’ ledger
Explanation:
The correct answer is C. Transfers of debit balances to the receivables ledger are not posted to the credit side of the payables control account. Instead, such transfers would affect the debit side of the payables control account, as they represent reductions in the amount owed.
