The correct answer is option 2- Redeemable Debentures.

Debentures are debt instruments that are issued by companies and governments to raise money. They typically pay a fixed rate of interest to investors.

This makes them a good investment for investors who are looking for a fixed income and who are not comfortable with the risk of interest rate fluctuations or market volatility. |
