B. The excess of the credits of an asset account over the debits is the balance of the account.

Explanation:

The normal balance of an Asset is DEBIT.

So saying that the excess of the credits over the debits will be the balance of the account is not true.

Choice A is true since Liabilities are normally credits.

Choice C is also true since stockholder's equity are normally credits.

Lastly, Choice D is true because Expenses are normally credits.
