Which one of the following is not an ownership right of a stockholder in a corporation?
A) To declare dividends on the common stock.
B) To share in assets upon liquidation.
C) To share in corporate earnings.
D) To vote in the election of directors.

A stockholder has the right to claim their share in case of firm liquidation. They also have a right to a share in corporate earnings which are paid out as dividends when they are declared. Common stockholders also have the right to vote and elect directors for management. However, they do not have a right to declare dividends as this is a privilege solely reserved for the management of the corporation and so a stockholder has no say in it.

Hope that helps.
