✅ Correct Option: 2

Looking at each item from List-I and matching with List-II:

Calls in Advance (A): When shareholders pay for shares before the amount is actually called by the company, interest is payable to them. The maximum rate of interest on calls in advance is 12% per annum as per the Companies Act provisions.

→ Matches with (II)

Calls in Arrears (B): When shareholders fail to pay the called amount on due date, the company charges interest on such unpaid amounts. The maximum rate of interest on calls in arrears is 10% per annum (unless Articles specify otherwise).

→ Matches with (III)

Private Company (C): A private company is restricted in terms of membership. The maximum number of members is 200 (excluding current and former employees who are members), along with other restrictions like prohibition on transfer of shares and invitation to public for share subscription.

→ Matches with (I)

Public Company (D): A public company faces no restriction on membership size. It can have any number of members, and there is no limit on the maximum number of members. The minimum is 7 members, but no upper ceiling exists.

→ Matches with (IV)
