Answer:

The correct answer is A. Account payable 750 Cash 750.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem requires us to tell the accounting entry a business will make when making payment against offices supplies puchased on credit.

When the business has bought it it would have made following entry

Offices supplies debit 750

to payable credit 750

On settlement the business will make entry as mentioned in option A.
