D. Debiting Wage Expense for $1,080 and crediting Wages Payable for $1,080.

Explanation:

Salary Calculation for three employees for one day = $ 600 + $ 600 + $ 600/5 = 1800/5 = $ 360

Salary for 3 days for 3 workers = $ 360 * 3 = $ 1080

Adjusting Entry would be recognizing the expense and liability for the payment of wages.

So

Wages expense will be debited with $ 1080

And wages payable would be credited with $ 1080
