Answer 1

The correct answer is:

C. Stockholders may receive dividends from corporate earnings.

This is a basic right of stockholders, as they are entitled to a share of the company's profits in the form of dividends, if the company decides to distribute them. The other options listed do not represent fundamental rights typically granted to stockholders.
