2. The principal appointed him a peon in the college.
3. As a peon the principal appointed him in the college.
4. The principal as a peon appointed him in the college.
Answer: B
It is sentence 2.
Appoint takes an object and a complement directly - appointed him a peon. Sentences 3 and 4 move the phrase so that it modifies the principal or the appointing rather than the man appointed.
