Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
At the end of the fiscal year, any remaining balance in Factory Overhead, whether it is a debit or credit balance, is typically closed out to Cost of Goods Sold. This is because the overhead costs have already been incurred and need to be matched with the revenue generated in the same period, following the matching principle in accounting.
