The answer is A) Outstanding Salaries A/C

 

Nominal accounts are accounts which are eventually closed to capital accounts. This account is also known as temporary account because it is closed in the equity (capital) account at year end. This includes expenses and incomes. Outstanding salaries A/C is a liability account and is not closed to equity account at the end of reporting period.

outstanding salaries. 

Thumb rule for nominal account - debit all exp and losses, credit all incomes and gains.

Outstanding salary is a liability and thus part of real account where the rule states - debit all assets and credit all liabilities.
