  2. BThe DP receives the rejection with reasons, and after the client corrects the defect the DP can resubmit a fresh request, or the certificates are returned to the clientCorrect
  3. CThe DP must destroy the certificates and the shares are lost
  4. DThe client's demat account is closed automatically
