Explanation & Answer

Temporary accounts are revenues and expenses. These accounts begin with a zero balance at the beginning of each accounting period. Temporary accounts are closed at the end of each accounting period. 

Permanent accounts are the assets, liabilities, and owner's equity accounts. These accounts are not closed at the end of an accounting period.
