    debit Accounts Payable-Jones, credit Merchandise Inventory.

    Explanation:

    When inventory is purchased on account, it increases the merchandise inventory balance along with the liability towards the payment.

    When some inventory out of the above is returned, it decreases the inventory, and thus accordingly it is credited by the same.

    Therefore, correct option is
