    (A) Utility expense 500

    Cash 500

    Explanation:

    When utilities have been incurred but unsettled, liability in form of accrued utilities is created for the entity. This is recognized as a debit to utilities expense and a credit to accrued utilities.

    However, where cash is paid, the debit is the same but the credit entry is posted to the cash account.
