Respuesta :

Answer:

A debit to Loss-OCI and a credit to APBO

Explanation:

When the net loss is reported on the balance sheet with respect to the postretirement benefit plan also the cost of the future health care is rise so the impact of the change would be that the other comprehensive income i.e. OCI would be debited while on the other hand the accumulated post benefit obligation would be credited

therefore the second option is correct
