Thigger fires the first time when accound is created (before insert), and the second time when WF Rule update record - trigger again (before update). You can check this with a test.

Selected Answer: B

The trigger will fire only once if a new Account is inserted, even if a workflow rule modifies a field on the Account. This is because Salesforce uses a single transaction for the insert and the update triggered by the workflow rule, and the trigger only runs once per transaction.
