Question

One of the equal parts into which the ownership of a company is divided is called as ________.

• A. Royalty
• B. Share
• C. Investment
• D. Deal

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

A company's ownership is divided into many equal units. Each unit represents a fraction of the company's ownership and is called a share. A person who owns one or more shares is known as a shareholder.

Let us examine each option:

Option (1): Royalty
A royalty is a payment made to the owner of intellectual property or natural resources for the right to use them.
It is not a unit of ownership in a company.

Option (2): Share
A share is one of the equal parts into which the ownership of a company is divided.
It represents partial ownership in the company.
Hence, this is the correct answer.

Option (3): Investment
An investment is money put into a business or asset with the expectation of earning a return.
It is not the unit of ownership itself.

Option (4): Deal
A deal is an agreement or transaction between two or more parties.
It is unrelated to the ownership structure of a company.

Therefore, one of the equal parts into which the ownership of a company is divided is called a: \[ \boxed{\text{Share}} \] Hence, the correct answer is Option (2) – Share.
