Answer:

C. subtracted from the bank balance

Step-by-step explanation:

A service fee is an amount charged by banks for services rendered. It is an income to the bank but an expense to the business. The banks deduct service fees automatically from the customer's accounts. The amounts and the date that a service fee has been charged reflects as a deduction on the customer's bank statement.

In reconciliations, the service fee should be deducted from the bank's balance. It is money that belongs to the bank and should reduce the customer's bank balance.
