Answer (C) is correct . Preferred stockholders have preference over common stockholders with respect to dividend and liquidation rights, but payment of preferred dividends, unlike bond interest is not mandatory. In exchange for these preferences, the preferred stockholders give up the right to vote. Consequently, preferred stock is a hybrid of debt and equity.

Answer (A) is incorrect because The share of profits available to preferred stockholders is normally limited to a percentage of the stock’s par value. Thus, they may get more or less than the common shareholders.
Answer (B) is incorrect because Preferred stockholders ordinarily do not have voting rights.
Answer (D) is incorrect because The passing of preferred dividends does not put the corporation into default. For this reason, preferred stock is sometimes viewed more favorably than debt by corporate management. If the preferred stock is cumulative (which most is), the corporation may not pay dividends to common shareholders until the arrearages to preferred stockholders have been paid.
