    The correct answer is D

    Explanation:

    The journal entry which is to be posted on December 31, is as:

    Rent receivable A/c ... Dr $4,400

    Rent Earned A/c ... Cr $4,400

    As the two months rent is not paid so the adjusting entry which is to be posted is that the rent receivable account is debited whereas the rent earned account is credited with the amount of two months rent. (which is $2,200 + $2,200 = $4,400).
