C. Entry was audited

D. amount was recorded in the subsidiary ledger

Answer: Option (D)

Explanation:

Checkmark in the post reference column of general journal refers to the fact that amount has been recorded in subsidiary ledger. As for each of the general ledger account there tends to lie a subsidiary ledger and the cumulative balance of the subsidiary ledger is also presented in balance sheet. For example, there are "n" number of the vendors in a business, but in the balance sheet only one account lies under the heading creditors. This is so, as posting entry the sub-ledger of the individual vendor is referred and accordingly, the cumulative balance of all vendors is presented in balance sheet as a final general ledger account.
