    C

    Explanation:

    In this question, we are asked to state the appropriate amount that will be debited from which of the accounts in the question.

    To answer this appropriately, we need to calculate the dividend payable.

    Mathematically that is equal to cash dividend * number of shares

    From the question, we can identify the cash dividend as $0.10 and the number of shares as 10,000

    The dividend payable is thus 0.1 * 10,000 = $1,000

    The journal entry will be:-

    Dividend payable $1,000

    Cash $1,000

    This makes option C the correct answer
