A debit balance in a liability account? That's like a unicorn sighting! Gotta be B) The company has not yet paid the third party. Simple as that.

I'm pretty sure it's D) The company has paid to a third party more than was withheld from the EE. Debit in a liability account? That's just bad accounting.

Haha, what kind of company would have a debit balance in a liability account? That's like having negative debt! I'm going with B, it's the only one that makes sense.
