    The correct option is A.

    Explanation:

    For computing the amount of issue of common shares, the following calculation is needed to be done:

    = Number of shares * par value

    = 17,000 shares * 0.05

    = $850

    The journal entry for cash received in respect of the issue of common share is given below:

    Cash A/c Dr $850

    To Common Stock $850

    (Being cash is received in respect of the issue of common shares)

    All other journal entries are wrong.

    Hence, the correct option is A.
