Answer:A : Accrual-basis accounting recognizes expenses when they are incurred.

Explanation:

Accrual basis refers to the process of keeping record of transactions based on the revenue that are earned and incurred expenses.

An invoice from a customer has its revenue recorded through accrual basis.

The good thing about it, is revenues with their matching expenses can be put as one match which makes the transaction process goes efficiently.
