Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
When the owner withdraws cash from the business, the business's cash account decreases because money is being taken out. At the same time, the withdrawals account, which tracks the amount of money taken out of the business by the owner for personal use, increases. This reflects the decrease in business resources and the increase in owner's withdrawals.
