B) Debit Sales Revenue for $7,968, debit Sales Discounts for $332, and credit Accounts Receivable for $8,300.

Explanation:

The journal entry is shown below:

Cash A/c Dr $7,968

Sales Discount A/c Dr $332

To Accounts receivable $8,300

(Being cash received recorded)

The computation of the account receivable

= Credit sales - returned goods

= $9,000 - $700

= $8,300

And, the discount would be

= Accounts receivable * percentage given

= $8,300 * 4%

= $332

The remaining amount would be credited to the cash account.
