## Abstract

The semisimple subalgebras of the rank $2$ symplectic Lie algebra $\mathfrak{sp}(4,\mathbb{C})$ are well-known, and we recently classified its Levi decomposable subalgebras. In this article, we classify the solvable subalgebras of $\mathfrak{sp}(4,\mathbb{C})$, up to inner automorphism. This completes the classification of the subalgebras of $\mathfrak{sp}(4,\mathbb{C})$. More broadly speaking, in completing the classification of the subalgebras of $\mathfrak{sp}(4,\mathbb{C})$ we have completed the classification of the subalgebras of the rank $2$ semisimple Lie algebras.
