Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The adjusting entry to record earning of unearned revenue would decrease the liability account (unearned revenue) and increase the revenue account. This is because unearned revenue represents an obligation to perform a service or deliver goods, and as the service or goods are provided, the obligation decreases and revenue is earned. Therefore, the correct choice is C) Decrease a liability; increase revenue.
