    c) Debit another asset account for $5,000

    Explanation:

    Data provided in the question

    Debited an asset account = $5,000

    And, the revenue account credited = $10,000

    Based on the above information

    As we know that

    Accounting equation is

    Total assets = Total liabilities + total stockholder equity

    Since both the account has difference balance so to balance them we have to debit another asset of $5,000 so the total balance of asset is $10,000 i. e equal to the revenue account i, e $10,000

    Hence, the correct option is c.
