Answer choice: Add to inventory

Explanation:

The shipping terms FOB destination means that title passes once the goods reach their destination which is the buyers place of business. Since the goods are in transit they should remain in the inventory of the seller until the goods are delivered. This needs to be added to the inventory account of the seller.
