The correct option is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that QRS Industries opens its fiscal year with a $500 balance in its prepaid insurance account.

$500 (Debit)

QRS purchases $2,500 in insurance policies during the year.

$2,500 (Debit)

$875 of insurance has expired during the year.

$875 (credit)

The balance in the prepaid insurance account after all necessary entries is

Balance = $500 + $2,500 - $875

Balance = $2,125

Therefore the the correct option is B.
