Solution:
The sum of the moment at A =0.

Here;

clockwise +
Anticlockwise -
So,
2×2-4-Ma=0
Ma=0
So the given answer is correct.

The unit of the moment at C should be 4Tm, not 4T/m

Right, thanks @Farman.

@Lily.

0 is at free end not at fixed end.

@All.

Just remember that B.M at the fixed end is always zero!

Answer is correct, due to the moment at c in the opposite direction, it actually cancels the moment due to point load, and thus net moment is zero.

0 because 4t is resisting moment and question is asking bending moment.

Muhammad Hashim said:   6 years ago
The correct answer is 12 Tm, since the moment from other end also comes to at A due to having single support. Point C is not able to withstand 4 Tm at all.

BM at A = 2 * 2 - 4 = 0.
