The correct journal entries should be:

Department A:

Dr Work in progress inventory 93,000

Cr Raw materials inventory 93,000

Department D:

Dr Work in progress inventory 67,000

Cr Raw materials inventory 67,000

Explanation:

Raw materials is an asset account with a debit balance, and since we must decrease it, we have to credit the amounts. Work in progress (WIP) inventory is an asset account so it has a debit balance.
