Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
A firm's credit policy consists of credit period, cash discounts, credit standards, and collection policy. Receivables monitoring is not part of the credit policy but a process in which firms monitor their accounts receivable to ensure timely payments and minimize bad debt. Therefore, option B is the best choice as it includes all the correct items of a credit policy.
