Answer is option C. As both the Creditors (if its a current liability) and Cash/Bank (Current asset) decrease by the same magnitude, the ultimate effect on working capital remains nil.

 

At the same time,if the creditor mentioned here is a long term or non-current liability, then option B is correct , i.e. working capital decreases because cash/bank (current asset)used to pay off long term creditor (non-current ;liability)
