The correct answer is b. Inventory 6,500 Accounts Payable 6,500

Explanation:

In accounting, an account payable is any contribution from a debtor party, which appears as a result of a purchase of goods or services in terms of credit, to a creditor party.

Even if a legal person makes a purchase without issuing the intention to pay in writing, it records the amount due as a current obligation in their accounts. Companies often incur this type of short-term debit in order to pay for their inventories, especially in industries where inventory performance is accelerated.
