A credit is used to record a decrease in which of the following types of accounts?

Review the normal balances: Asset accounts typically have a debit balance, meaning they increase with debits and decrease with credits. Liability and equity accounts typically have a credit balance, meaning they increase with credits and decrease with debits. Revenue accounts also have a credit balance, meaning they increase with credits.

Apply the rules: Since credits decrease accounts with a normal debit balance, the correct answer is asset accounts. Credits do not decrease revenue, liability, or equity accounts because these accounts have a normal credit balance.
