    B) Interest receivable.

    Explanation:

    Since the note was received one month into its term (July 15 ⇒ August 15), it must be recorded with interest receivable for one month.

    This means that Benet will record as interest revenue only three months of interest (August 15 ⇒ September 15 ⇒ October 15 ⇒ November 15), instead of four.
