Solution
✅ Correct Option: 2
Higher competition requires larger stocks of finished goods to meet urgent orders (A-III). Credit availed refers to the credit a firm gets from its suppliers, reducing working capital needs (B-I). Inflation means larger amounts are required even for the same volume of production and sales (C-IV). A liberal credit policy allowed to customers increases debtors and working capital (D-II). Hence A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II.
