My thought is that it is "C".

I assume that the indirect is the net chance in cash, not the actual cash flow. Because the interest payment was only 5k in the t-account and they had a 6k expense, 1 is still owed. The t-account will not show the 1k because it only covers the slow of $$. The indirect will show that it is owed.

Is my logic correct?
