Final Answer : A, Explanation :  The adjusting journal entry mentioned in the question is not specific, but in general adjusting entries are made to ensure accurate financial statements at the end of an accounting period. One common adjustment is to record expenses that have been incurred but not yet paid or recorded. This type of adjustment would decrease total assets and increase expenses, resulting in a decrease in net income.
