C Correct answer
Explanation

Demat account charges typically include account opening fees, annual maintenance charges, custodian fees, and transaction fees. These are standard operational costs for maintaining electronic securities. Option C describes 'Annual fee for spot conversions of one currency into another' - this is a forex/foreign exchange service charge, completely unrelated to Demat account operations. Currency conversion is not a function performed by Demat accounts, making this the option that is NOT a major charge on Demat accounts.
