A land and building account is an example of a permanent account.

The permanent accounts are accounts from the balance sheet. It is also called real accounts.

Real accounts do not have their balances cleared (zero) at the closing of the accounting period like nominal accounts do. Consequently, the balance of a real account is carried forward into the new accounting year from the previous year's closing date.

A real account is also referred to as a permanent account because the balance that remains at the end of the accounting year is carried over to the following year.

Since land and building accounts are balance sheet items, we can conclude that they are an example of permanent accounts.

Therefore, the correct option is B.
