Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
An adjusted trial balance is prepared after adjusting entries are made and posted to the ledger, to ensure that total debits still equal total credits. It does not guarantee that all journal entries have been made, that all accounts have the correct balance, or that no posting errors have been made.
