Correct option is B)

Share capital is reported by a company on its balance sheet in the shareholder's equity section.

Unclaimed dividend is a short term liability which need to be paid in the next years. This has to be shown as current liability in balance sheet.

Unclaimed dividend is shown on the liability side of a balance sheet under the head “Reserves and Surplus” along with capital. If a company incurs losses then it is not created.
