C Correct answer
Explanation

Free samples account is used to record the cost of free samples distributed for advertising/promotion purposes. Since it records an expense (advertising expense), it's a nominal account (temporary account that gets closed at period end). It's not a personal account (not for people) or real account (not for permanent assets). Option D is unnecessary.
