Solution
✅ Correct Option: 2
Equity shares carry voting rights (B) and their dividend is paid only after preference dividend has been paid (C). Their dividend rate is not fixed but varies with profits and the board's recommendation, so A is wrong, and the preferential right to repayment of capital belongs to preference shares, so D is wrong. Hence B and C only.
