Answer 1

Answer: (C)

dividend

A dividend is a distribution of a portion of a company's earnings, decided by the board of directors, paid to a class of its shareholders. Dividends can be issued as cash payments, as shares of stock, or other property

So, we can say that the dividend is a payment made by a corporation to its shareholders, usually as a distribution of profits.

Hence, option C is correct.
