Correct Answer: Option D

Explanation

Debenture-holders are the subscribers to debentures. Debentures are part of loan. A shareholder or member is the joint owner of a company; but a debenture holder is only a creditor of the company. In the event of liquidation, they are paid first before any other class of lenders.
