Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
In a partnership liquidation, the allocation of a capital deficiency to partners with credit balances when the deficient partner is expected to pay the deficiency is recorded through a separate entry called "deficiency account entry." This entry is not required in the initial liquidation entry. The rest of the options (A, B, and C) are necessary entries in a partnership liquidation.
