C Correct answer
Explanation

Open-ended mutual fund units are the most liquid for small investors because they can be redeemed directly from the mutual fund at any time at the NAV-based price. Equity shares in unlisted companies have no ready market, debentures have limited liquidity, and real estate is highly illiquid requiring time for sale and valuation.
