    Explanation:

    The accrual accounting principle states that you must record transactions in the accounting periods in which they occur, and the conservatism principle states that revenues should only be recorded when the earning process has been substantially completed.

    In this case, only March 31 fulfills both requirements, since the goods were delivered on that day: same accounting period + earning process completed.
