Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

As per Section 52 of Companies Act 2013, Securities Premium can be used for: writing off preliminary expenses (B), premium on redemption of debentures/preference shares (D), and buy back of shares (E). Bonus shares issued must be fully paid (not partly paid), so C is wrong. Returning excess application money is not a permitted use.
