which one is the correct answer ?

Answer 1

d.

"a" is wrong because you have $500 in debit and $5,000 in credit.
"b" is wrong because you don't credit revenue when you collect cash, you credit accounts receivable.
"c" is wrong because you don't do a double debit. You credit one account and debit one account.
