The company decided to sell their stake in their subsidiary because it was under massive debts.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. sell its stake in its subsidiary.
- In this context, since the company is being referred to as a single entity, the possessive pronoun "its" should be used instead of "their" to maintain consistency.
- Additionally, "its stake in its subsidiary" reflects that the company owns the stake in the subsidiary, which is more accurate than using "their" in this context.
