Correct Answer:

Redeemable Debentures

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 2- Redeemable Debentures.

A redeemable debenture is a type of debenture that can be redeemed or repaid by the issuer on a specific date or within a specified period of time. Debentures are debt instruments that are issued by companies and governments to raise money. They typically pay a fixed rate of interest to investors. Redeemable debentures are attractive to investors because they offer the certainty of repayment on a specific date. 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.
