Answer:

A. Debit inventory for $20 and credit expense for $20.

Explanation:

We should remember that we cannot recognize a gain before is realized. Increasing the inventory for their net realizable value would reocgnize the gain before selling the good that is not correct. The comapny will adjust to their original cost of 100 that is, reverse the 20 dollars loss of the previous year.
