Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
When a payee is given additional time to settle an account and a note is issued, the company's asset account transitions from Accounts Receivable (an amount expected to be received) to Notes Receivable (a formal agreement to receive a specific amount by a certain date). This reflects a more formalized promise to pay.
