Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Authorised capital is stated in the Memorandum, not the Articles, so (B) is incorrect. It is indeed also called nominal or registered capital, so (C) is correct. It can be altered only by the procedure prescribed under the Companies Act, not one decided by shareholders, so (D) is also incorrect.
