Correct option is B

Explanation:

Cash 36,000

Deferred rent revenue 36,000

Deferred income is, in accrual accounting, money earned for goods or services which have not yet been delivered. According to the revenue recognition principle, it is recorded as a liability until delivery is made, at which time it is converted into revenue.
