Correct option is D
Cash deposited in bank represents an
internal movement of cash, meaning cash is merely transferred from
Cash-in-hand to Cash-at-bank. There is
no inflow or outflow from the business; only the
form of cash changes. Hence, it is
not considered a cash flow as per the Cash Flow Statement standards.
All other options involve either cash inflow or outflow:
· Redemption of debentures → cash
outflow
· Issue of preference shares → cash
inflow
· Sale of plant → cash
inflow
Therefore, the only option with
no actual cash movement is the deposit of cash into the bank.
