If a partner's salary was due but not recorded, which account should be credited in the adjustment?

Correct answer: Partner's current account will be credited

Partner's salary is treated as an appropriation of profit, not a normal business expense. On adjustment, the Profit & Loss Appropriation (or appropriation account) is debited and the concerned partner's current account is credited to record the due salary. Option C is a common distractor—salary expense (Profit & Loss) is used for employee salaries, but partner salary is charged to appropriation. Exam tip: always decide first whether an item is an expense or an appropriation when adjusting partnership accounts.
