Answer: The correct answer is a. Debit to an expense account and a credit to a liability account.

Explanation: An accrued expense is an expense incurred but yet to be paid for. For instance a consultancy service.

To record this transaction, a debit to the expense account will be recorded to increase expenses and a credit to liability account to increase what is owed.
