Explanation:

The options do not match the question. Correct answer is posted.

When closing the Withdrawal account at the end of the period, the withdrawals need to be accounted for from the capital invested by the investor because the withdrawals would reduce the capital balance.

To do this the Capital account should be debited to signify that it is reducing. The opposing entry therefore will be to credit the Withdrawals account.
