    A. credit to Interest Revenue, $2,500.

    Explanation:

    In accounting, interest revenue from bond is recognized and recorded in the period in which they are earned, not until the maturity date of the bond, based on the matching principle.

    Debit Cash with $2,500

    Credit Interest Revenue with $2,500
