- When an auditor resigns, a casual vacancy arises in the office of auditor.

- As per the Companies Act, 2013, such a vacancy can only be filled by the company in a general meeting, not by the Board alone.

- Let’s look at the options:

- Board meeting: Not permitted, Board cannot fill a vacancy caused by resignation.

- Extraordinary general meeting: An EGM is a type of general meeting, but law says "general meeting", which could be EGM or AGM.

- General meeting: Correct. The company must convene a general meeting (could be EGM or AGM depending on timing) and appoint a new auditor.

- Annual general meeting: Not specifically required; any general meeting suffices.

- So, the correct answer is:
