Correct Answer: Equity shares


Solution :

Answer = Equity shares

An equity share is not a preference share. It implies that equity shares do not enjoy preferential rights. Equity shares are risk-bearing shares. Equity shareholders control the affairs of the company. An Equity share receives a dividend only when there is a balance of profit after the payment of the preference dividend.
