Answer:

(C) An adjusted trial balance is prepared before all transactions have been journalized.

The debit columns records assets and expenses side

whereas, the credit column record revenue, stockholder equity, and the liability side.

Thus, It is used to prepare the financial statements, and show ledger accounts balance

Therefore, option C would be not true
