Correct Answer: The option for the company to repurchase preference shares


Solution : The correct answer is (c) The option for the company to repurchase preference shares.

When preference shares are described as "callable," it means that the company has the option, but not the obligation, to repurchase or redeem the preference shares from shareholders at a predetermined price and within a specified time period. The call feature gives the company the right to call back or repurchase the preference shares before their maturity or at a specified call date.

Therefore, when preference shares are described as "callable," it means that the company has the option to repurchase or redeem the shares from shareholders at a predetermined price and within a specified time period.
