Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
When an owner withdraws funds from the business, the entry includes a debit to the Withdrawals account (increasing the owner's withdrawals for the period) and a credit to Cash or another asset account from which funds are withdrawn (reducing the asset). Options A and B involve Wages Expense, which is unrelated to owner withdrawals. Option D incorrectly suggests crediting Withdrawals, which would decrease the withdrawals account, contrary to the nature of the transaction.
