The correct response is:

Stocks are units of ownership in a corporation, while bonds are certificates of debt.

This accurately reflects the primary differences between stocks and bonds. Stocks represent ownership in a company and give shareholders a claim on its assets and earnings, while bonds represent a loan made by an investor to a borrower (such as a corporation or government) and entail paying back the principal with interest.
