Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Indirect materials are those materials that are not directly identifiable with a specific job or product. They are part of manufacturing overhead cost which includes all costs of manufacturing except direct materials and direct labor. Therefore, the use of indirect materials should be recorded as a debit to Manufacturing Overhead account.
