    C Increase in one asset and increase in liabilities Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Increase in asset and decrease in capital Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    When the proprietor withdraws cash from the business for personal use, it results in a decrease in the cash asset since cash is being taken out of the business. At the same time, it also causes a decrease in the owner's capital because the owner's capital represents the owner's investment in the business. When the owner withdraws cash for personal use, it reduces their ownership interest in the business, leading to a decrease in owner's capital.
