d. a debit to Work-in-Process Inventory: Department B and a credit to Work-in-Process Inventory: Department A.

Explanation:

The journal entry is shown below:

Work in progress inventory - Department B A/c Dr

To Work in progress inventory - Department A A/c

(Being the completed production is recorded)

For recording, we debited the Work-in-Process Inventory - Department B Account and credited the Work-in-Process Inventory - Department A Account so that the correct posting can be done
