Explanation:

Let’s break it down:

- Section 233A of the Companies Act, 1956 gives the Central Government power to order a special audit of a company’s accounts if it thinks there are concerns about the company’s business or management.

- There’s no such thing as Section 233(A) with parentheses in the Companies Act, 1956.

- Section 242A—again, with or without parentheses—doesn’t relate to powers to order special audits. It actually deals with totally different issues, mostly about the rights of certain members in specific contexts.

- The powers for a special audit are, very clearly, Section 233A (option 2).

So the right answer is:

Option:2, Section 233A
