Answer is Right!
The correct answer is B. Payments.
A cash book is a book of original entry used to record all cash receipts and payments. It is a two-sided book, with the left-hand side recording receipts and the right-hand side recording payments.
Payment of rent expenses is a business expense, so it is recorded on the right-hand side of the cash book.
Here is a brief explanation of each option:
- A. Receipts. Receipts are recorded on the left-hand side of the cash book. They represent money that has come into the business, such as from sales, loans, or investments.

- C. Income. Income is recorded on the left-hand side of the cash book. It represents money that has come into the business, such as from sales, interest, or dividends.
- D. Expense. Expenses are recorded on the right-hand side of the cash book. They represent money that has gone out of the business, such as for rent, utilities, or salaries.
