Correct answer: C
Concept: In a pie chart, the full circle (360°) represents the entire data set (100%). So each 1% share of the data corresponds to a central angle of 360° ÷ 100 = 3.6°. To find the central angle for any category, multiply its percentage share by 3.6°.
The corporate sector (Corporate Houses) accounts for 34% of the total subscriptions, as shown in the pie chart.
Angle contributed by each 1% share = 360° ÷ 100 = 3.6°.
Central angle for the corporate sector = 34 × 3.6° = 122.4°.
Since the question asks for an approximate value, 122.4° rounds to 122°.
Cross-check: The percentages of all categories in the chart — FII 33%, NRI 11%, Corporate Houses 34%, Offshore Funds 16%, Others 4%, National Banks 2% — add up to 100%, confirming the data is internally consistent and that the 3.6°-per-1% conversion is valid. Hence, the central angle for the corporate sector is approximately 122°.
