When the Amount for a Debit Entry in a General

When the amount for a debit entry in a general journal is transferred to a specific account in the general ledger, it must be posted as a:

A) debit to the account in the general ledger.
B) credit to the account in the general ledger.
C) total amount, without regard to debit or credit, since the general ledger accounts do not have spaces for debit and credit entries.
D) decrease to the account in the general ledger.
