Dec. 10 | Cash | 8000 | |

Option B is correct.
Explanation :-
The payment was made beyond 10 days, therefore, no Sales discount will be received by the buyer now and he has to make full payment of $ 8000 to the seller . Though the seller used net method of accounting for sales discounts, therefore, Accounts receivable account was standing by the amount of $ 7840 only and hence the difference of $ 160 will go in Sales discount forfeited account.
