B. Refunds Payable 1,000 Accounts Receivable 1000

Explanation:

Since the given transactions made on credit basis, so there is no role of cash.

Hence, no cash entry would be recorded

Moreover, the sales allowance is granted for $1,000 which reduce the account receive balance so we credited this account and the goods are damaged so we debited the refund payable account

Hence, the entry would be

Refunds Payable $1,000

Accounts Receivable $1,000

(Being the sales allowance is recorded)
