    C. debit Rent Revenue and credit Unearned Rent Revenue, $26500.

    Explanation:

    The adjusting entry is shown below:

    Rent revenue

    To Unearned rent revenue

    (Being the unearned rent revenue is recorded)

    For recording this we debited the rent revenue as it reduced the sales and credited the unearned rent revenue as it increased the liability

    Since the cash is received on August 1 and we need to record the adjusting entry on December 31,2017 so we considered the 5 months instead of taking 12 months i. e

    = $63,600 * 5 months : 12 months

    = $26,500
