Which of the following is an example of economic capital being conver…

The correct answer is Option (3) → A trader's daughter joins a costly private university using her family's savings.

Option (1) A doctor's daughter uses her medical degree to earn a high salary abroad. — Incorrect. Here the daughter already holds a medical degree, which is cultural or educational capital. Earning a high salary with it turns cultural capital into economic capital, the opposite direction.

Option (2) A clerk's son gets a well-paid job on the recommendation of an influential uncle. — Incorrect. The son gets the job through an influential uncle's recommendation. That is social capital, meaning useful relatives and friends, being turned into a well-paid job.

Option (3) A trader's daughter joins a costly private university using her family's savings. — Correct. Family savings are economic capital. Paying for costly higher education lets the daughter acquire cultural or educational capital, so money becomes cultural capital.

Option (4) A businessman spends money on club memberships to build influential contacts. — Incorrect. Spending money on club memberships builds influential contacts. That turns economic capital into social capital, which comes from influential relatives and friends.
