Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Deferred revenue is initially recorded as a liability when received, because the service or product has not yet been delivered to the customer. When the service or product is delivered, an adjusting entry is made to decrease the liability account (deferred revenue) and increase a revenue account, recognizing the revenue earned.
