Correct option is B
When the proprietor withdraws
goods from the business for personal use, it is treated as
Drawings. In accounting, drawings of goods are recorded by reducing purchases. Hence, the
Purchases Account is credited while Drawings Account is debited. Thus,
the correct answer is — (b) Purchases Account.
The logic: Goods withdrawn are not sold, so sales is not affected. They reduce the stock of the business, and therefore, the cost of purchases must be decreased. That is why
Purchases A/c is credited.
