Answer 1

Answer:

D) Debit to Accounts Receivable

Explanation:

If you want to reinstate a specific receivable previously written off you need to do the opposite accounting entry at when the written off was made.

Previously was made a credit in the accounts receivable to deduct the amount of the bad debt, the opposite would be to make a debit in the Accounts receivable ot reflect the reinstanted value.
