A. Cecil.

Explanation:

Cecil gives goods on consignment to Jerry who agrees to try to sell them for a 20% commission. Consignment occurs when goods are sent by their owner (the consignor) to an agent (the consignee), who undertakes to sell the goods.

The consignor, Cecil continues to own the goods until they are sold, so the goods appear as inventory in the accounting records of the consignor, not the consignee, Jerry.
