Correct Answer: Ownership in the company


Solution : The correct answer is (c) Ownership in the company

Equity shares represent ownership or equity ownership in a company. Shareholders who hold equity shares have ownership rights in the company, which typically includes voting rights, the right to share in the company's profits (through dividends), and the right to participate in decision-making processes related to the company's operations and policies. Unlike debt securities (e.g., debentures), equity shares do not guarantee fixed dividend payments or redemption; instead, the dividend payments to equity shareholders are variable and based on the company's profitability and the decisions of the board of directors.
