Correct Answer: wrest


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Explanation : In this context, the sentence is referring to the shareholders planning to take control of the company from the current directors. The word "wrest" is the most suitable choice as it means to take something by force often used in the context of gaining control or possession.

So, the correct sentence would be: "The shareholders are planning to wrest control of the company from the current directors."
