Subscription
Correct answer is B
The ₦1000 represent liability in the balance sheet, since it is paid by the members representing dues for next year. Subscription in advance are liabilities, because the company that received the money has not yet earned it and it has an obligation (a liability) to deliver the related goods or services in the future.
