b. only revenue is recorded each time a sale is made

Explanation:

Under periodic inventory we adjust for COGS at the end of each month,

We don't recognize Cost of Goods Sold at the moment of sale.

When a sale occurs we recognize the revenue associate with the sale only.

It is under perpetual system when he adjustment on inventory and COGS are done simultaneously with the sale.
