    B) An understatement of assets and understatement of revenues

    Explanation:

    Accrued revenues are revenues that are earned but are still collectible.

    That means the adjusting entry should have been:

    Debit to Accounts Receivable and

    Credit to Revenue

    If the company failed to prepare this adjusting entry then the Accounts Receivable will not be recorded and thus will understate the Asset since Accounts Receivable is an Asset.

    The same goes for revenue, if not recorded, will understate Revenue.
