In accounting (a subfield of Business), the terms "debit" and "credit" refer to the left and right sides of an account, respectively. The effect of debit or credit (increase or decrease) depends on the type of account (asset, liability, equity, revenue, expense). So "Debit means left and Credit means right" is a fundamental and always - true statement about the positioning of debits and credits in an account. The other options are incorrect because whether debit/credit means increase or decrease is account - dependent, not a universal rule.
