The correct answer is A. That have been recorded in the cash book but not by the bank

Unpresented cheques are cheques which have not yet cleared through the banking system. It is a term used in the preparation of a bank reconciliation statement. For example, if a business writes a cheque, it will post it to its cash book that day and then send it on to its supplier.
