Respuesta :

Answer:

C: Payments to both bondholders and preferred stockholders are subject to approval of the Board of Directors

Explanation:

Bonds and Preferred stock are not subject to approval by the Board of Directors.

This is because Bond and Preferred stock holders are considered above other owners in a company and must be paid their due even if the company makes profit or not. However, where no profit is recorded for the year, Bond and stock holders could be paid in arrears.
