A. On March 12

Explanation:

The accounting entry that would have been processed by Coaster Brothers Inc on March 12 would be

This would have been processed on March 12 since the services were performed.

The other options such as options B and C represent collection dates of the accounts receivable and would only involve the cash and receivable accounts.
