Kyra Pope · Answer 1

The correct answer is letter "C": Revenues and expenses are closed to the Income Summary account.

Explanation:

Closing the accounting books of a company implies leaving in zero (0) the revenues and expenses in the income summary account and then recording the net profit or losses of the period in the balance sheet. The assets, liabilities, and retained earnings accounts are not closed yet.
