    Bank Ac Dr ₹1,000

    D.

    To Share Final call A/c ₹500
    To Securities Premium Reserve A/c ₹500

    Correct option is B

    Share capital will be debited by face value of shares forfeited i.e., 100×₹10=₹1,000
    Securities Premium is not received, hence, it will be debited by 100×2=₹200
    Share final call amount is due but not received hence, it will be credited by 100×₹5=₹500
    Share forfeiture account will be credited by actual amount received on forfeited share i.e., 100×7=₹700
