Answer:

A. increases the balance of an expense account

Explanation:

The following effect can be shown through an example -

If we increase the credit portion of an adjusting entry to increase the balance of a liability account, the effect of the debit portion will be an expense.

For example -

When wages expenses incurred but not paid, at that moment, a liability will increase due to that effect. The journal entry to record that transaction is -

Wages expense     Debit

Wages payable      Credit

Therefore, the adjusting entry increases the liability as well as the expenses.
