b.

c.

d.
purchase return account (debit) 2,000 accounts payable account (credit) 2,000

The correct answer is C

Explanation:

The journal entry for the goods which were defective returned to the vendor:

Accounts Payable A/cDr   $2,000

     Purchase return A/cCr  $2,000

Because when the purchase have been made, the entry is passed:

Purchase A/cDr    $2,000

     To Accounts Payable A/cCr    $2,000

So, when the goods were returned the accounts payable account will be offset by debiting the account because earlier it was credited and the account of the purchase return will be credited.
