C) debit Land for $192,000.

Explanation:

Given that

Par value of stock = $1

Actively traded per share = $64

Number of shares issued = 3,000 shares

Acquired value of land = $200,000

By considering the above information, the calculation would be done as follows

Land value would be

= Number of shares issued * actively traded per share

= 3,000 shares * $64 per share

= $192,000
