A.

Explanation:

The company should register the debit (increase) to Supplies and the credit (increase) to Accounts Payable.

The affected accounts are:

-Supplies, an inventory account. The amount of purchase must be debit because it is increasing. if it drecrese, there is a credit registration.

-Accounts payable, if the purchase is on account. The amount of purchase must be credit, as an increase. When there is a debit in this account, the debt has been canceled.

-Cash, if the purchase is an exchange of cash.
