B Correct answer
Explanation

Mutual funds in India must value their investments on a mark-to-market basis as per SEBI regulations. This means investments are valued at their current market price rather than purchase price or book value. Mark-to-market valuation ensures that the NAV reflects the true current value of the fund's holdings. Purchase price and book value do not account for market fluctuations.
