  • A.Original entry
  • B.Secondary entry
  • C.Cash transaction
  • D.Petty cash transaction

Answer: A

A journal is a book of original entry.

Transactions are first recorded in the journal in date order, with the accounts to be debited and credited. They are then posted from the journal to the ledger, which is why the ledger is called the principal book or book of final entry.

'Secondary entry' is the opposite of the journal's role. The cash book records cash transactions and the petty cash book small day-to-day expenses; these are subsidiary books, and the journal is not limited to either kind of transaction.
