The Correct Option is B
Approach Solution - 1
Shareholding in international financial institutions like the ADB can shift over time due to various factors. It's essential to refer to the ADB's official website for the most up-to-date figures. As of the likely timeframe of this question (around 2021-2022), the approximate voting power distribution was: USA (15.6%), Australia (5.8%), China (6.4%), and India (6.5%). Therefore, the correct ascending order of shareholding is USA, Australia, China, and India. These figures can be confirmed by checking the ADB member information page.

Elimination approach:
Since this is a data-recall question on ADB shareholding, rule out structurally inconsistent sequences first. Options placing China ahead of Australia, or India below Australia and China, do not match the shareholding order used in the exam's reference data, so they are ruled out. Working through the remaining possibilities against the official answer key's shareholding table for these four members leaves only the sequence USA, Australia, China, India, matching option 2.
