BPP past question: 213 LaForge (March/June 2020)

Its a section C question. part c asks "Discuss the ways in which a company can issue new equity shares" (5 marks) Was I wrong to include bonus issue? The model answer doesn't. I specifically stated in my answer that a bonus issue doesn't raise new finance. Thanks in advance

I am away from home until very late tonight and so I cannot check the question wording. If there was no other indication then you would get marks for mentioning a bonus issue. However the reason I want to check the question itself is because if (for example) the earlier parts of the question were referring to raising new finance then obviously (as you have stated) mentioning a bonus issue would not really be relevant.
