Correct Answer: A


Solution : Answer = (A)  Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

Equity shares indeed do not carry a fixed rate of dividend, and equity shareholders bear the ultimate risk because they receive dividends from the residual profits after other claims are settled, and they are repaid their invested capital only after all other claims are satisfied in the event of company liquidation.
Hence, the correct option is 1.
