    A) November 30

    Explanation:

    Based on accrual principle of accounting, revenue is recognized when it is earned and not necessarily when cash is received.

    Revenue is said to be earned when the obligation of the delivery of service or goods sold has been met.

    As such, where a company accepts a customer's order on November 30 and immediately delivers the goods to the customer, revenue is said to be earned (and will be recognized) on the day of delivery.
