Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

For 5,0005,000 debentures: application =5,000×25=1,25,000= 5,000 \times 25 = 1,25,000, allotment =5,000×45=2,25,000= 5,000 \times 45 = 2,25,000 (split 1,75,0001,75,000 capital and 50,00050,000 premium), call =5,000×40=2,00,000= 5,000 \times 40 = 2,00,000.

Entries (A), (B) and (C) match these figures. Entry (D) shows allotment money received as 2,20,0002,20,000 instead of the correct 2,25,0002,25,000, so it is incorrect.
