Correct answer is A
Wages should be charged in the trading account only if shown separately on the trial balance from salaries. In such circumstances, the assumption, unless you are otherwise told, is that the wage is a direct trading expense to be included in the trading account while salary is an Indirect (i.e overhead) expense to be included in the P & L account.
