________ is often referred to as book of prime entry or the book of original entry.
Journal
The correct answer is option 3. The Journal is often referred to as the book of prime entry or the book of original entry because it is where all financial transactions are initially recorded before being posted to the ledger accounts. The other options do not fulfill this role: Book-keeping refers to the process of recording transactions; Ledger is where transactions from the journal are classified; and Capital book is not a standard term in accounting.
