Option A,debit  Unearned Rent Revenue, $2,500; credit Rent Revenue, $2,500 is correct

Explanation:

The necessary adjustment on July 31 when financial statements are finalized is that rent of the month of July has been earned and should be recognized as rent revenue.

The amount of $15,000 was for six months ,one month rent is $2,500 ($15,000/6)

The necessary adjustment would a credit to rent revenue of $2,500 and a debit to unearned rent revenue for the same amount
