    B) increase the book balance

    Explanation:

    Provided that total actual payment = $658

    Recorded value of this transaction in cash book for payment = $856

    Difference of amount that is wrongly recorded = $856 - $658 = $198

    That means as per cash book the balance is less by this amount as it relates to payments.

    For this the balance in cash book for cash receipts is to be increased.

    No adjustment can be made in bank statement it is system generated, and the wrong amount is also entered in cash account, that is cash book.

    Therefore, correct option is

    B) increase the book balance
