Solution

The correct option is C Share Capital.
Forfeiture essentially means cancellation. If the shareholder fails to pay any of the calls (one or more) then, on the authorization of the board of directors, the said shares can be forfeited.
The balance in the Share Forfeiture A/c is shown under the Share Capital on the liabilities side of the balance sheet. This account will remain till the said shares are reissued by the company.
