An up-round. (which is Option A)
_____
Explanation:
An up-round would take place at a higher share price because of increase in company's valuation/wealth between the previous and current issue. As mentioned in the question, the second round of financing has been done at a share price of $2,000 which is higher as compared to the previous issue price of $1,000. Therefore, this would be considered a case of up-round and as such Option A is correct.
A case of down-round would occur when the company's valuation has declined over the period as a result of which the company offers its shares at a price (in the subsequent issue) lower than the previous issue. A company may have to sell its shares at a lower price because of poor performance or lower growth rate than what was anticipated. Therefore, Option B is incorrect.
Because Option A is correct, Option C is incorrect.
