    Option A is correct

    Explanation:

    When dividends are declared, the appropriate entries would be debit retained earnings and credit dividends payable since the dividends are yet to be paid.

    When outright cash is given dividends, it is safe to debit dividends while crediting cash since there an outflow of cash from the business.

    As a result, the correct option is A
