Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Under perpetual inventory system, merchandise returned on account is recorded by debiting Accounts Payable and crediting Inventory. This is because the inventory is being returned and not sold, so it should be returned to inventory. Cost of Goods Sold and Sales are not affected by the return of merchandise as they were not sold.
