Option 2: Issue of fully paid bonus shares.
Option 3: Writing off discount on issue of securities.
Option 4: Writing off preliminary expenses.
Correct Answer: Writing off capital losses.
Solution : Answer = Writing off capital losses.
Securities Premium Reserve cannot be utilized for writing off capital losses.

A Securities Premium Reserve is typically used for issuing fully paid bonus shares or writing off discounts on securities.
