The correct answer is: C. Decrease of Rs. 50,000/- in working capital

Explanation:

The company redeemed its 2,00,000/- preference shares. For this it issued equity share capital of Rs. 1,50,000/- and Rs. 1,00,000/- bonus shares were also issued.

The net effect of these two transactions is a decrease in working capital.
